Pressure...

Heart attacks are often caused by high blood pressure, which nearly one in every three Americans has.

But a study by the CDC now suggests high blood pressure could also be linked to the coronavirus.

The CDC study examined 14 states in the month of March, finding nearly half of all coronavirus patients with underlying conditions suffered from hypertension.

That number skyrocketed up to 72% for patients 65 and older -- the age group where the virus is most likely to be fatal.

It would make sense since that older patients are succumbing to this disease, a very high percentage of them are going to have hypertension as well.

While concerns have been raised about high blood pressure and the medications used to treat it , there just isn't enough information or data to draw any conclusions.
