Blood pressure levels between 160-180 mmHg significantly increase the risk of stroke and mortality due to the body's autoregulation mechanisms being overcome.

“if your blood pressure was like 170 or higher that you had a dramatic increased risk for stroke and that's because it would pass the autoregulatory point”

“the studies show that the greatest risk for stroke heart failure and kidney disease are when the blood pressure is like 170 160 to 180 systolic is kind of the turning point where when it's above that level there's really a dramatic increased risk for these conditions”
