High blood pressure, heart attack and medication

Are you at higher risk for heart attack if you have high blood pressure? Can blood pressure medication reduce risk for heart attack?

Your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke doubles for every 20 point increase in systolic blood pressure above 115/75 mmHg.  The risk is reduced by reducing the pressure.
