A member asked:
Is bloodpressure of 180/120 for one or two month is enough to develop decent amount of atherosclerosis plaque in the arteries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is hypertension and over years you will develop atherosclerosis. It is impossible to tell how much you would see in two years without imagining. Rapid treatment with reducing your BP could prevent progression of disease. Good Luck
