Hypertensive heart disease
Hypertensive heart disease: Introduction
Heart disease caused directly or indirectly by high blood pressure. The heart has to work harder to cope with high blood pressure and this can lead to thickening of the heart muscle and other symptoms. As well as affecting the heart's structure, the blood vessels and conduction system can be affected. Coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias and congestive heart failure are some examples of heart diseases that can be caused by hypertension.
