The main complication of hypertension

Hypertension is the size of the main complications of vascular disease. Heart, brain, kidney and other organs from damage objects are hypertension, high blood pressure medicine known as the target organ. Heart: Hypertension can cause cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, also can cause angina and myocardial infarction, but also to long-term hypertension ventricular expansion, a hypertensive heart disease. Brain: Hypertension can cause cerebral arteriosclerosis, and the final cause of stroke, including cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Kidney: Hypertension can cause kidney arteriosclerosis, renal effects, and even lead to uremia. These diseases can be no early symptoms. Once these patients with hypertension target organ damage, which is hypertension 3. Complications of these reasons: mainly due to arterial hypertension produced a series of changes, especially the long-term systemic small artery spasm, may vessel wall changes in malnutrition, endometrial protein deposition of the material, fibrous tissue increased , the film muscle hypertrophy, reduce arterial elasticity, which narrows the lumen. As small changes in the arterial lumen narrowing of the deposition thickness, medicine said it is a "glass-like change." All the organs and tissues in the small arteries will be affected, particularly in the small renal arteries most obvious. Because small artery spasm, and peripheral vascular resistance increased, in order to maintain the smooth flow of the cardiac blood circulation, we must redouble our efforts to shrink, so that blood can reach around, and the results are too tired heart, left ventricular hypertrophy and expansion. Renal kidney due to atherosclerosis, a renal ischemia, resulted in hypertension, systemic arteries to spasm, and this increased hypertension, a "vicious circle." Long-term renal ischemia, malnutrition changes in renal function will be affected.
