9Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is the leading cause of heart failure in both women and men. This is a common health issue in which chronic blood force narrows and damages the arteries. In the long run, it might contribute to coronary artery conditions, which would eventually result in heart failure or heart attack. People with hypertension tend to have less efficient heart muscles as well. This can be a major risk factor of heart failure. Since hypertension would occur for many years without any obvious symptoms, it is important to have regular health checks for early diagnosis. [9]
