People know about hypertension, but few people know about the complications of hypertension. In fact, hypertension is not terrible, but the terrible complications are caused by it. Today, experts from the Beijing Public Health Examination Center will introduce to you which symptoms belong to Complications of hypertension:
Due to the continuous increase of arterial pressure in patients with hypertension, small arteriosclerosis of the whole body is caused, which affects the blood supply of tissues and organs, causing various serious consequences and becoming a complication of hypertension. Common complications of hypertension include coronary heart disease, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, etc. Among the various complications of hypertension, brain, heart, and kidney damage are the most significant. Cerebral hemorrhage: The muscular layer and adventitia of the small arteries in the brain are underdeveloped, and the wall is weak. If the hardened small arteries in the brain are accompanied by spasm, oozing or ruptured hemorrhage (ie, intracerebral hemorrhage) is prone to occur. Cerebral hemorrhage is the most serious complication of advanced hypertension. The bleeding sites are mostly near the internal capsule and the basal ganglia, and clinically manifested as hemiplegia and aphasia. Heart failure: The heart (mainly the left ventricle) strengthens its work by overcoming the increase in peripheral resistance caused by systemic arteriolar sclerosis, and compensatory hypertrophy of the myocardium occurs. The left ventricular muscle wall gradually thickens, the heart cavity is also significantly expanded, and the heart weight increases. When the current compensatory function is insufficient, it becomes a hypertensive heart disease, and the myocardial contractility is severely weakened, causing heart failure. Because patients with hypertension are often accompanied by coronary atherosclerosis, the burdened heart is in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which makes it more prone to heart failure.
