What is the interrelationship between atherosclerosis and hypertension?
?The stress of blood flow along artery walls-called shear stress-can cause physical damage to arteries. (Disturbed blood flow can be harmful to endothelial cells, whereas regular blood flow is protective.) Hypertension intensifies the stress of blood flow on arterial tissue, provoking a low-grade inflammatory state that may stimulate plaque formation or progression.

Craig is a college junior who is on the college cross-country team. He has been training hard to make the top seven runners. He feels comfortable with his training plan but is confused about how to nourish his body to maximize his performance in daily practice runs, time trials, and competitions. He has found it difficult to eat enough throughout his busy school day and at the same time eat the
right foods that don't upset his stomach. Craig makes an appointment with a registered dietitian to learn what he can do to improve his competitive edge. In the first appointment with the dietitian Craig goes over his typical dietary intake for the week.
