Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain was diagnosed with a stent implanted in his heart

Renowned tabla maestro Zakir Hussain passed away at the age of 73 in a US hospital following a heart ailment. According to media reports, he was also put in a stent some time ago due to heart blockage.

Zakir Hussain, the legendary artist of the world of Indian music, passed away at the age of 73 due to serious illness. He was admitted to a hospital in San Francisco, USA some time ago due to deteriorating health.

According to media reports, Ustad Zakir Hussain was suffering from heart disease for a long time and recently a stent was also placed due to blockage in his heart arteries. A person close to him has also told the media that Zakir Hussain was facing BP problem for a long time.

What happens when BP increases?

The problem of high blood pressure makes the heart weak. Due to this, the heart has to work harder to pump blood. In such a situation, the risk of heart failure, heart attack, and stroke increases greatly.

Heart blockage can occur if BP is not controlled

Actually, due to high blood pressure, there is more pressure on the nerves, due to which the veins start shrinking and blood circulation is not done properly. In this case, the stent is inserted into the heart after surgery.

How much do BP patients live?

According to a study, people with high blood pressure live longer than people with normal BP. The life expectancy of men with high blood pressure was 5.1 years less than men with normal blood pressure, and the life expectancy of women with high blood pressure was 4.9 years less. This is due to the severity of heart diseases caused by BP.
