A member asked:
Can you have a heart attack with a blood pressure of 102/82... what happens if the numbers get closer together like 103/89?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart Attack: It depends on what you mean by "attack"; yes any number of cardiac events can be preceded by the examples of BP quoted ;the difference between the the 2 quoted numbers is insignificant clinically
