Is hypertension related to heart rate?

High blood pressure is usually associated with heart rate.

Hypertension affects the heart's pumping system, causing the heart to experience increased resistance to ejection, resulting in reduced ejection. Reduced ejection causes insufficient blood supply to the heart, which beats faster to compensate, resulting in increased heart rate. Hypertension can lead to coronary atherosclerosis, which can lead to coronary heart disease, which can lead to myocardial ischemia, decreased heart pumping, and decreased heart rate. High blood pressure can also be complicated by heart block, heart pumping reflex decreased, the patient's heart rate will slow down.
