Answer to Question 1

Hypertension makes atherosclerosis worse. A stiffened artery, already strained by each pulse of blood surging through it, is stressed even more if the internal pressure is high. Hypertension causes injured places within the blood vessels to develop more frequently, and plaques grow faster. Hardened arteries also fail to let blood flow freely through the body's blood-pressure-sensing organs, the kidneys, which respond as if the blood pressure were too low and raise it further.

Answer to Question 2

True
