Seven Common Complication ofHhypertension

Some projections indicate that with population growth and increased life expectancy, cardiovascular disease will always be the leading cause of death cause of the global population. Our country die each year from complications of stroke and high blood pressure were more than 1.5 million, maimed millions. Therefore, hypertension is a major source of cardiovascular disease in middle age. Next we introduce a common complication of hypertension.

First, coronary heart disease

Hypertension is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, the risk of suffering from coronary heart disease in patients with hypertension is twice normal, long-term high blood pressure is not treated, 50% died of coronary heart disease.

Second, diabetes

In the diabetic population, the incidence of hypertension is two times the normal population. Diabetes and hypertension coexist quite common, it is an important reason for the occurrence of atherosclerosis and in patients with renal failure.

Third, heart failure

Heart failure is a common complication of hypertension, epidemiological studies have shown that 40% -50% of heart failure caused by hypertension. The higher the blood pressure, and no treatment, the greater the likelihood of developing heart failure. Some of the 5,314 cases of hypertensive patients followed up for 14.1 years, 392 cases of heart failure, high blood pressure has been found to be a major risk leading to left ventricular hypertrophy and myocardial infarction, and left ventricular hypertrophy and myocardial infarction may lead to heart failure, therefore, Hypertension plays an important role in the course of heart failure.


Fourth, nephropathy

In humans, the kidney participate in the formation and maintenance of high blood pressure, in turn, because of high blood pressure and kidney damage, not long-term treatment of hypertension, can cause end-stage renal failure, kidney damage or accelerate the real cause primary or secondary kidney disease.

Fifth, peripheral arterial disease

High blood pressure increases the risk of intermittent claudication three times, probably because of high blood pressure to make certain parts such as lower limb arteries, carotid artery, coronary artery accelerate, leading to lower extremity arterial ischemic, nutritional disorders, and even necrosis.

Six strokes

The incidence of hypertension stroke is 7.76 times the normal blood pressure, and studies have shown that antihypertensive treatment can reduce the incidence of stroke by 40%, 15% reduction in coronary heart disease risk.

Seven, left ventricular hypertrophy

In all hypertensive patients, 20% -30% can be found left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with mild hypertension increased 2-3 times higher than normal blood pressure, and severe hypertension up to 10 times. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a potential risk factor for myocardial infarction, left ventricular systolic function and effect, and therefore left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor closely associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
