Those who are the vulnerable will have specific genes they inherit from their relatives, who were impacted by the condition. This increases their chances of having similar complications when they become older. (Kolata, 2010) Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension

Congestive heart failure and hypertension are interconnected with each other. According to a study conducted by the University of Texas, they found that there are 660 thousand new cases reported each year. This is accounting for 7% of all deaths associated with cardio vascular disease. One of the biggest factors that will determine if someone is at risk is hypertension. As this is used in 75% of all cases, to predict if someone will be impacted by congestive heart failure and the long-term effects it will have on them. (Merla, 2009)

Hypertension can lead to complications by increasing the chances of ventricle or systolic dysfunction taking place. This improves the chances of someone being impacted by these complications and the lasting effects it will have on them. For health care professionals, this allows them to understand how it is related to cardiovascular disease, the complications and the impact it will have on the health of the patient. (Merla,...

The way that it occurs is through an increase in the person's blood pressure. This will serve as a warning sign of possible complications. If it is not addressed, their condition will continue to become worse until they have complications. This can result in a fatal stroke or heart attack.
