High blood pressure (hypertension) left untreated can have serious side effects. High blood pressure can block arteries causing a heart attack. The extra demand put on the heart can cause an enlarged heart.1

Fast Facts:

  • Narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys, because of high blood pressure, can cause kidney damage.1
  • Narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the brain can cause a stroke.1
