Question 1

i understand that most blood pressure and statin drugs reduce cv risk by about 20-30%. my question is what about the other 70-80%?

Accepted Answer

Risk: Drugs are usually quoted in decreasing relative risk rather than absolute risk, this makes their effects sound more impressive. To decrease risk significantly requires taking care of multiple risk factors to get their additive benefits. Rarely do we get to high numbers of reducing absolute risk however.

Question 10

i am 30 yrs.  old does blood pressure change during the day everyday?

Accepted Answer

Emotions, activities: Most people who check their blood pressure readings don't get the same reading on repeated measurements. Humans are not identical from moment to moment (we're not robots). Also, emotions and activities change blood pressures. A person who finds variety in her measurements can just take 2 measurements every time and average them. A person in her 20's or 30's should have nice, low pressures.
