High Cholesterol may raise blood pressure

Researchers are looking at a possible link between high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure. As many as 90% of US adults will develop high blood pressure (HTN) in their lifetime, and the American Heart Association says that nearly 107 million American adults have total blood cholesterol levels above 200. This does not paint a pretty picture. Both of these conditions are risk factors for heart disease and death.

Listen to what the latest research says about the link between the two and hear tips on what you can do, today, to lower your risk of either or both of these conditions.
