High blood pressure while lying down linked to higher risk of heart health complications

American Heart Association Hypertension Scientific Sessions – Abstract 452. An analysis of data from a long-running study of more than 11,000 adults from four diverse communities in the United States has found that adults who had high blood pressure while both seated upright and lying supine (flat on their backs) had a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, heart failure or premature death compared to adults without high blood pressure while upright and supine.
