In those with high blood pressure (140 over 90 mmHg), the heart has to pump much harder than normal to keep up blood flow around the body. As a result, the heart muscle tires and eventually weakens from the demands made upon it. Less oxygen-rich blood reaches vital organs increasing the chance of having a heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. Risk factors include those for heart attack.
