Hypertension Statistics

www.americanheart.org

• One in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure.

• From 1994 to 2004 the age-adjusted death rate from high blood pressure increased 25.2 percent.

• The cause of 90–95 percent of the cases of high blood pressure isn't known; however, high blood pressure is easily detected and usually controllable.

Healthy Coronary Artery

• Here is a cross-section of the coronary artery. Most of its wall is filled with smooth muscle cells that can contract and relax.

Artery with Atherosclerotic Plaque

• The arteries are sites of a very common disease, atherosclerosis. Here, an atherosclerotic plaque has formed in a coronary artery. It consists of cholesterol, inflammatory cells, and fibrosis, and it reduces the space for blood flow in the artery.

Spasm of an Artery• A spasm can

suddenly develop in an atherosclerotic coronary artery. This reduces blood flow to the heart and causes chest pain. The condition is called angina pectoris.

Nitroglycerin Medication Administered

• Nitroglycerin dilates constricted arteries. This improves blood flow and alleviates chest pain. Therefore, nitroglycerin is often used by patients with angina pectoris

The Discovery

Ferid Murad Louis J. Ignarro Robert Furchgot

Stockholm Sweden October 12, 1998Three Americans won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering that the body uses nitric oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen. This is a finding that could pay off in treatments for heart disease Associated Press
