According to research, women with a slight increase in blood pressure in the early 40s are at twice the risk of acute coronary syndrome at the age of 50 compared to others. Researchers recommend that women should not ignore the slight increase in blood pressure in early and middle age.
A slight increase in the blood pressure of females in the early 40s has a double risk of acute coronary syndrome at the age of 50 compared to those with normal blood pressure. This is revealed by research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology on World Hypertension Day. Research suggests, "Females should continue to have their blood pressure checked by a doctor despite feeling healthy and at regular intervals."
Earlier research had shown that high blood pressure is a stronger risk factor for heart disease in women than men. Other than that, the average blood pressure of young and middle-aged women is lower than that of men. The purpose of the research was to find out whether a slight increase in blood pressure (130–139 / 80–89 mmHg) is a stronger risk factor for acute coronary syndrome in women than men. Community-based research measured blood pressure of 6,381 women and 5,948 men at the age of 41, and heart attacks were also recorded during 16 years.
Researchers found that acute coronary syndrome in the middle of life is associated with double risk due to slight increase in blood pressure of women. Researcher Dr. Ester Kringland of the University of Bergen, Norway, said "Our analysis confirms that a slight increase in blood pressure affects the risk of acute coronary syndrome in gender-specific modalities. The results indicate in emerging evidence that high Blood pressure has an adverse effect on the heart of women in particular. " He explained that the results probably highlight the difference between men and women in how small arteries respond against high blood pressure, but further research is needed in this regard.
He said, "Young women have a lower blood pressure average than men, but a rapid increase in women was seen when they started their thirties. Since three times the high blood pressure is the same in both genders, young women actually In comparison, high blood pressure increases more than men before it is recognized. " The research writer said, "Females should know their blood pressure. To maintain normal blood pressure, it is advisable to maintain normal body weight, use healthy diet and exercise regularly.
Other than that, it is also advisable to avoid smoking and avoid excessive use of alcohol and salt. "Professor Brian Williams at University College London said," This is a very important discovery with a strong message. We are motivated to estimate the risk of heart disease, that the risk of heart risk is higher among men than women. The important thing is that this research does not reveal such. Early and middle age women should not ignore the slight increase in blood pressure. "
