Just the way it is.
I question the extent to which higher blood pressure BY ITSELF induces heart problems. Many with high blood pressure ALSO eat tons of garbage and don’t exercise. Blood pressure caused by plaque and calcification of arteries is one thing. Blood pressure as a result of chronic pain (or a larger heart, or some other cause) MAY not have any effect on heart problems. But since higher blood pressure for some causes IS harmful, that gets lumped in statistically with higher blood pressure from other reasons.
Seems very simplistic to argue as some do that systolic blood pressure of 130, for example, is too high.
