What is the harm of hypertension

summary

In life, more and more people suffer from high blood pressure, and the disease is gradually younger, which has affected many young people, but also affected the normal life of patients. The emergence of high blood pressure not only makes patients suffer a lot, but also causes serious harm to the patient's body. So what is the harm of high blood pressure? The following is a detailed introduction.

What is the harm of hypertension

1： Heart. 1. The harm of hypertension is manifested in the damage to the heart and blood vessels. The damage of hypertension to the heart and blood vessels is mainly coronary artery. Long term hypertension makes coronary artery atherosclerosis, coronary artery stenosis, and reduces the blood supply to the myocardium, which is called coronary heart disease, or ischemic heart disease. 2. The harm of hypertension is manifested in the damage to the heart. When hypertension affects the heart, it often changes the structure and function of the heart. Due to the long-term rise of blood pressure, it increases the burden of the left ventricle and causes it to be affected for a long time. The left ventricle is gradually hypertrophic and dilated due to compensation, forming a hypertensive heart disease, which can eventually lead to heart failure. 　　

2： Brain. The brain is also a dangerous part of high blood pressure. Long term hypertension causes cerebral ischemia and degeneration, easy to form cerebral aneurysms, resulting in cerebral hemorrhage. Hypertension promotes cerebral atherosclerosis, which can be complicated with cerebral thrombosis. Cerebral hemorrhage is the most common complication of advanced hypertension. In general, the mortality rate is high, and even survivors have sequelae such as hemiplegia or aphasia. So the key of prevention and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage is to control blood pressure effectively. 　　

3： Kidney. The harm of hypertension is also reflected in the kidney: long-term persistent hypertension makes the pressure of glomerular capsule increase, glomerular fibrosis, atrophy, and renal arteriosclerosis, resulting in renal failure due to renal parenchyma ischemia and continuous reduction of nephron. With the continuous development of the disease, the surface of the kidney is granular, and the cortex becomes thinner. Due to the continuous destruction of the nephron, the kidney shrinks, and then renal insufficiency occurs and develops into uremia.

matters needing attention

Through the above introduction, we have a comprehensive understanding of the harm of hypertension. We hope that patients will pay more attention to their health in life, avoid the aggravation of the disease and lead to serious consequences. At the same time, we should do a good job in the prevention of hypertension at ordinary times, so as to avoid hypertension coming to our door.
