For us, the pressure of blood against the vessel wall is just a number. For the organism, this force is a tool. With this effort, nutrients and oxygen in the blood are pressed through vessel membranes into the adjacent tissue. It is, so to speak, the food distribution to our cells. Against every resistance in this task, the heart increases its output performance. High blood pressure is never an accident. The body knows exactly what it is doing and what it must do. The regulation of this system is among the most intelligent functions the organism performs. Because the success of this regulation determines the survival of each individual organ. When the heart pumps faster and stronger, it is only because certain circumstances leave it no choice. Undoubtedly, the body's own response to increased blood pressure can become dangerous for the vessels. At this moment, medicine takes charge of the matter.
