The harm of hypertension complications

summary

The harm of hypertension to human body is very serious, including the harm to heart, brain, kidney and eye. So patients with hypertension in the treatment of hypertension should pay attention to these problems. Let's talk about the harm of hypertension complications.

The harm of hypertension complications

First: harm heart: from a large number of clinical data, hypertension is the first to bear the brunt of the damage to the heart, mainly in the following two aspects: first, the damage to the heart and blood vessels. Hypertension mainly damages the coronary artery of the heart, and gradually causes coronary artery atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. In recent years, a large number of research data at home and abroad show that the incidence rate of coronary heart disease caused by hypertension is significantly higher. According to the survey in Shanghai, Beijing and other places, 62.9% - 93.6% of patients with coronary heart disease have a history of hypertension. People often call hypertension and coronary heart disease a pair of "twin sisters". The second is the damage to the heart itself. Due to the long-term increase of blood pressure, the burden of left ventricle is increased, and the left ventricle is gradually hypertrophic and dilated due to compensation, resulting in hypertensive heart disease. The emergence of hypertensive heart disease, mostly in a few years or more after the onset of hypertension. In the period of cardiac function compensation, except for occasional palpitation or shortness of breath, the patient has no obvious other symptoms; when the compensatory function is maladjusted, symptoms of left heart failure can appear, and the patient will have palpitation, asthma, cough, sometimes blood in the sputum, and pulmonary edema in severe cases.

Second: brain damage: in China, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease and tumor are the three major causes of death for the elderly, and the main cause of cerebrovascular disease is hypertension, followed by arteriosclerosis. Clinically, acute cerebrovascular diseases caused by hypertension mainly include cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc. Cerebral hemorrhage is the most common complication of advanced hypertension. The location of cerebral hemorrhage, the amount of bleeding and the emergency treatment have a great influence on the prognosis of patients. Generally, the mortality is high, and even the survivors also have sequelae such as hemiplegia or aphasia. So the key of prevention and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage is to control blood pressure effectively.

Third: kidney damage: the urinary system of the human body is like a "waste water excretion system", which plays an important role in maintaining the physiological balance of the body. The kidney is an important organ in the urinary system, it is like the center of the water treatment system. In addition to inflammation and bacterial infection caused by allergic reaction, hypertension is a common risk factor of kidney. In general, the damage of hypertension to the kidney is a relatively long process. Because of the strong compensatory ability of the kidney, the only symptom that can reflect the disorder of the kidney is nocturia. When there is renal insufficiency, due to the reduction of the concentration capacity of the kidney, patients will have polyuria, thirst, polydipsia, low proportion of urine. When the renal insufficiency develops further, the urine volume decreases obviously, the blood non protein nitrogen, creatinine and urea nitrogen increase, the systemic edema, electrolyte disorder and acid-base imbalance appear. Once renal dysfunction or development of uremia, the damage will be irreversible.

matters needing attention

If hypertension wants to get rid of drugs, it is necessary to restore the body's blood pressure regulation system. Antihypertensive drugs make your body's blood pressure regulation mechanism degenerate at a high speed. Once you take them, you will never be separated from them, resulting in strong drug dependence. According to authoritative statistics, more than half of hypertension patients died of renal failure and heart failure, which is closely related to antihypertensive western medicine. False hypertension, originally caused by poor sleep and mood, was sentenced to death once taking antihypertensive drugs. The side effects of antihypertensive drugs such as dizziness, nausea, palpitation, asthma and edema will cause you great pain.
