Hypertension can cause different complications to the organs of the whole body, and early treatment can avoid:
Arteries: High blood pressure may thicken the intima of the arteries, harden the arteries, and thicken and narrow the walls of the arteries. It will also damage the walls of the arteries and form plaques or aneurysms. In the event of aortic dissection or rupture, it will be more severe than myocardial infarction. Even more critical, the patient died before the operation was even possible.
Heart: High blood pressure causes an increase in arterial resistance, causing the left ventricle to work harder to pump blood out. Over time, the left ventricle will become hypertrophy and cause heart failure; the coronary arteries that supply the blood flow to the heart are hardened, so angina pectoris and myocardial infarction are dangerous Increase.
Brain: High blood pressure causes rupture and bleeding of cerebral blood vessels, or blood clots block blood flow to various parts of the brain, which are the main causes of stroke.
Kidneys: High blood pressure will worsen the blood circulation of the kidneys, destroy kidney function, and cause kidney failure.
Eyes: High blood pressure can cause hypertensive retinopathy. In severe cases, blindness may occur.
Metabolic syndrome: Hypertension also often brings high blood lipids and high blood sugar, which will increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke in the future.
