    This document outlines the risk factors and pathophysiological effects of hypertension. It notes that genetic predisposition, age, gender, smoking, alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, and sodium intake can increase risk. Hypertension can lead to vasoconstriction and increased stress on the heart. Over time, this can cause scarring and reduced function of the heart muscles and blood vessels, potentially progressing to heart failure if left untreated.
