When blood pushes with too much force through the cardiovascular system, it can damage the walls of the arteries as well as the heart muscle.
Damage to the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood can eventually contribute to a heart attack.
Damage to the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood can eventually contribute to a heart attack.
Similarly, damage to the arteries that supply the brain with blood can contribute to a stroke, and damage to the arteries that provide the kidneys with blood can lead to kidney disease.
