Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease

by Flutterby111, May 06, 2008 12:30AM
Can you please tell me what this means in Layman's terms?  This is the cause of death on my father's death certficate.  He was only 51 and I found him on his exercise bike in his basement on March 19th.  I knew it was a heart attack or something and I plan on seeing his doctor to better educate my sister and I on what we're up against for ourselves and our children, but I'm anxious to know now.  I'm also waiting (im)patiently for the detailed autopsy report.  

Thank you so much, it means alot to know.

P.S. he suffered pericarditis when he was 21 and his father died at age 56
