The heart, veins and arteries are the cardiovascular system. It is composed of vessels: veins and arteries, which circulates in the blood under the effect of the heart, which acts as a pump. Like any liquid flowing through a pipe, the blood exerts a pressure on the walls of veins and arteries. When the pressure is too high, your arteries are aging faster and the heart made greater efforts, he also wears out faster. The cardiovascular system is endangered.

What is this danger?
The arteries carry oxygen throughout your body, brain, legs, kidneys inside ... When blood pressure is too high, the arteries of these organs essential to life wear out sooner. And one time or another, this invisible wear occurs and there's an accident - like the brakes of a car let go one day. Having the power and do not treat risk as being very bad in the long body. The risks are many and serious: the tension promotes myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina pectoris, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), kidney failure, heart failure and the arteritis of the lower ...

An insidious disease
But the most annoying when a voltage is that we do not realize. Unlike many diseases that you feel (influenza, angina, arthritis, appendicitis ...), the tension is a silent disease: there are usually no symptoms. The only way to know if you have the voltage is measured. The only way to know if you have the voltage is measured. The tension is expressed using two digits, for a normal voltage, the first number must be less than 14 and the second less than 9.

Wear due to the strain on vital organs - heart, brain, kidneys ...- occurs slowly but surely, 10, 20 or 30 years. If a measurement indicates that you have tension, not panic: this does not require treatment of extreme urgency. It must first be made more consistent measurements to confirm this hypertension.
