High Blood Pressure That Approaches Without Symptoms: Does It Lead to Sudden Death?

A man in his 60s knew he had high blood pressure but had been delaying taking medication because he had no symptoms. Believing that his blood pressure would be controlled through frequent exercise, he had been getting through each day relying on nutritional supplements instead of medication. Then, one day, he visited the emergency room due to sudden chest pain. His systolic blood pressure had exceeded a staggering 180 mmHg, and his heart was already abnormally enlarged.

This is precisely why high blood pressure is called a "silent killer." Although it progresses slowly without symptoms in the early stages, it can suddenly threaten lives through fatal complications such as myocardial infarction or heart failure. Particular caution is required during the colder seasons, as the number of deaths from cardiovascular complications stemming from high blood pressure can increase sharply. What are the ways to avoid tragedies like heart attacks or sudden death caused by the first symptoms of high blood pressure?

What is the optimal blood pressure to save your life?

A man in his 70s who had been taking blood pressure medication regularly suffered a myocardial infarction and underwent a stent procedure. What was the problem? He was a high-risk group with numerous cardiovascular risk factors, including not only hypertension but also diabetes, and a family history of premature death from cardiovascular disease. For such high-risk individuals, the "optimal blood pressure"—the target blood pressure for treatment—is stricter than for patients with simple hypertension. To prevent cardiovascular disease, blood pressure must be maintained below 130 mmHg for systolic pressure and 80 mmHg for diastolic pressure. However, the problem was that he became complacent, believing he had been taking his medication even when his systolic blood pressure was over 150 mmHg.

The core of hypertension treatment does not end with taking medication. Optimal blood pressure varies depending on the level of cardiovascular risk... and it depends on how stably that optimal blood pressure is maintained. So, what is my optimal blood pressure to prevent complications? And how can I maintain optimal blood pressure?
