hypertension and heart disease

Hypertension may cause hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

If the patient's hypertension is not controlled for a long time, the left ventricle needs more force to inject blood into the aorta. In the long run, it will lead to left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, causing heart enlargement, causing hypertensive heart disease. In addition, the patient's long-term hypertension may cause coronary atherosclerosis, which may cause stenosis and occlusion of the arterial lumen, affecting myocardial blood supply, and may cause repeated attacks of coronary heart disease.

Patients with hypertension should strictly follow the prescribed medication and regularly go to the hospital to monitor blood pressure.
