Why do people with clogged coronary arteries generally have high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High blood pressure: High blood pressure will damage the endothelium or lining of the blood vessels increasing the chance of coronary artery disease. Not everyone with coronary disease has high blood pressure but many do. This is known as a risk factor for heart disease.
