What are the consequences of high blood pressure

summary

Hypertension is the primary risk factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If not treated in time, hypertension will lead to cerebral hemorrhage, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, renal failure and blindness. The harm of hypertension is very great, we must attach great importance to it. So what are the hazards of hypertension?

What are the consequences of high blood pressure

First, the main direct complication of hypertension is cerebrovascular disease, especially cerebral hemorrhage. A group of 312 hospitalized patients with essential hypertension were followed up for 15-18 years. 97 cases died of cardiac, cerebral and renal complications, accounting for 74.6% of the total causes of death. In the prospective 27 month follow-up study of 596 elderly patients with hypertension, the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was 68.79%, and the cumulative incidence of cerebrovascular diseases was 36.91%. Studies have shown that the higher the blood pressure, the higher the incidence of complications. The study on the relationship between blood pressure and stroke in 5456 people over 15 years old in Baoshan District of Shanghai showed that the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in patients with hypertension accounted for about 70% of the total number of cerebrovascular disease in the population during the 9-year follow-up period. The relative risk of cerebrovascular disease in patients with hypertension was 32 times higher than that in those with normal blood pressure, and the borderline hypertension was also as high as 9 times.

Second: cause kidney disease, long-term hypertension can lead to renal arteriosclerosis. When renal function is decreased, it can cause nocturia, polyuria, proteinuria, casts and red blood cells. Low concentration of urine, phenol red excretion and urea clearance. Azotemia and uremia occurred.

Third: it can lead to a variety of pathological changes. Hypertension can also lead to a variety of pathological changes in heart, brain, kidney and blood vessels. It can also lead to left ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, chronic renal failure and other serious life-threatening and health-threatening complications.

matters needing attention

The key to the treatment of hypertension is to reduce blood pressure and stabilize blood pressure. The traditional treatment of hypertension is drug therapy, through the role of drugs to achieve the purpose of reducing blood pressure, so that blood pressure is stable in the normal range. However, long-term use of antihypertensive drugs will cause serious drug dependence and serious drug side effects. Severe cases will aggravate the complications. It's going to be a long-term, lifelong medication. The body's self-healing ability is reduced, the function of various organs is seriously affected, some even fail, and finally necrosis. Therefore, the treatment of hypertension should be based on high efficacy and low side effects. Instead of damaging the function of organs and accelerating aging, we should start with strengthening self-healing ability.
