Blood Pressure's Deadly Role in Heart Disease
Update: 2024-09-09
Description
Could high blood pressure be the hidden force behind life-threatening heart conditions?
In this powerful episode of Stories from the Heart, we hear from Nathan Krepp, a self-described workaholic from Western Australia. With high blood pressure and a poor diet, Nathan had already lost 5% of his heart function due to minor heart attacks. But in 2020, an even more dramatic event unfolded, which saw him staring death in the face.
We also speak to Dr Niamh Chapman, a Senior Research Fellow from the University of Sydney, about her ground-breaking research that aims to measure blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease in pathology waiting rooms.
