High blood pressure can cause coronary heart disease

Coronary heart disease usually refers to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Patients with severe hypertension need to judge whether they can cause this disease according to factors such as the course of disease and treatment.

If the patient has severe hypertension, but the disease time is short, and active medical treatment controls blood pressure levels through drugs, it usually does not cause coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. However, the patient has a long course of disease and is not actively treated. Due to the continuous increase in vascular pressure in the heart, arteriosclerosis and thickening of blood vessel walls, the lumen can shrink and affect blood circulation, causing coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.
