When you look at the risk of having a heart attack, it is true that the older you are, the greater the odds of having a heart attack 1. While only 1-2% of those having a heart attack are less than 65 years of age, 1-2% of this very large number means a LOT of heart attacks. So far, so good.

Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup. This condition, called atherosclerosis, narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
