In the video, Leah discusses the relationship between hypertension (high blood pressure) and PTSD in veterans, explaining how hypertension can be service-connected in military personnel. Hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure over 140 or a diastolic pressure over 90, can be directly linked to military service if diagnosed during active duty, or secondarily associated with other conditions, such as PTSD and mental health issues. Leah emphasizes the role of various risk factors, both modifiable (like lifestyle choices) and non-modifiable (like genetics), in the development of hypertension. She references studies showing the impact of psychological stress and PTSD on blood pressure.
