The condition that forces blood against artery walls, causing damage, is known as hypertension or high blood pressure. When blood pressure is consistently elevated, it can lead to the hardening and thickening of arterial walls, known as arteriOSclerosis. This increased pressure can result in microtears in the arteries, promoting plaque buildup and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Maintaining healthy blood pressure is crucial for preventing such damage and preserving vascular health.
