The Dangers Of High Blood Pressure
Hypertension is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and can cause aortic coarctation, which can lead to death and is a disease with a very high mortality rate. It can cause lesions in the renal arteries, causing atherosclerosis of the renal arteries, resulting in increased urinary protein, reduced renal function and even renal failure. In the eye, there can be spasm of the small retinal arteries and eventually sclerosis and even edema of the papillary muscles. In the heart, it can cause hypertrophy of the left ventricle, and as the years of increased blood pressure increase, it can cause enlargement of the heart and thinning of the ventricular wall, which can lead to heart failure. Increased blood pressure can cause enlargement of the left atrium, leading to various arrhythmias, including atrial premature, ventricular premature, and even atrial fibrillation. In the central nervous system, if blood pressure is very high, it can cause arterial rupture, leading to intracranial haemorrhage, which is often referred to as cerebral haemorrhage, and many patients with cerebral haemorrhage are associated with high blood pressure, and the sclerosis of small arteries facilitates the formation of blood clots and leads to cerebral infarction. Therefore, the dangers of hypertension are very numerous.
