In simple terms, the higher your blood pressure, the higher the risk of a future heart attack or stroke. For systolic blood pressures above 120mmHg, for every 20 mmHg increase in blood pressure, the risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke doubles. Cardiovascular Endocrinology 3(4):p 129-133, December 2014. This is it.
