African Americans are more likely to develop high blood pressure, which is a condition where the force of blood against artery walls is too high. High blood pressure can damage artery walls over time if not treated and controlled. This damage to arteries from high blood pressure increases the risk of serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes.
