High blood pressure strains the heart, damages arteries, and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Low blood pressure may lead to fainting, dizziness, and inadequate blood flow to vital organs, affecting overall cardiovascular health.
Heart rate impacts cardiovascular health by indicating heart efficiency. High resting rates suggest potential stress, heart disease, or arrhythmias, while low rates can signify excellent fitness. Irregular rates may signal rhythm disorders, requiring monitoring for potential heart risks.
