Physician Peter Attia breaks down how precise blood-pressure control and disciplined home tracking can dramatically lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. "Too many people are walking around with high blood pressure who don't know it."

@PeterAttiaMD I absolutely agree! I’ve been so frustrated lately by even cardiologists who accept a higher blood pressure as normal. (Personally I may need to give up nicotine altogether)

@PeterAttiaMD Two GOATS

HTN is the silent killer. For every 20 mmHg increase in sys BP or 10 mmHg increase in dia BP this results in a 10x stressor on the heart. So a sys BP of 180 mmHg puts a 1000x stressor on the heart compared to a BP of 120 mmHg. Aggregate that over 100k beats over the course of weeks and one can see the compounding effects.

@PeterAttiaMD What's a healthy blood speed and I'm what unit of measurement of used to register it? Are there parameters for this?

@PeterAttiaMD ways to lower BP: sauna, diet, exercise, sleep

@PeterAttiaMD Too many people are forced to be a node on a WBAN. You should do a story on this

@PeterAttiaMD Is this ep 116?

@hubermanlab @PeterAttiaMD You only need tracking if you can’t track / not in control of your lifestyle
