Complications Of Hypertension
Increasing the pressure over the maximum limits in damage in some organs, called target organ: the stretch of the vessel wall, overwork the heart muscle, abnormal renal of brain and eye.
It is shown that the longer the pressure remains high is the highest risk of complications. These changes result in:
* Thickening of the walls of the heart muscle (as if the muscle was subjected to “body building“) and this in turn can lead to problems of heart failure up to, or myocardial ischemia, until dalliance ’stroke.
* Alterations of cardiac structures, particularly the dilation of the aorta, initially up to mild aortic valve insufficiency.
Damage to roads due to the continuous stretching of their walls that causes two types of changes: small lesions of the inner cell layer, which opens the door to infiltration and the deposition of fat in the wall and then atherosclerosis; the reaction of the muscular layer thickening of the arteries in certain districts vascular tree.
In turn, these changes cause vascular damage in the structures that supply: the brain may reduce oxygenation of the nerve cells with their failure, to dementia, or cause the rupture of a vessel and lead to strokes, kidney to alter the function of this organ and thus the accumulation or loss in the urine of particular substances, to cause the lowering of the ocular view.
Risk Factors
Primary or essential hypertension, although not identified a precise cause, there are some factors that may support or enhance disease: risk factors. These fall into two categories: Read the rest of this entry »

Secondary Hypertension
Yesterday we talked about the most common type of hypertension: primary hypertension. Today we see the causes and risk factors in the development of secondary hypertension.
This type of hypertension suffer 20% of hypertensives and the most important cause of disease or appearance is a health situation that favors development.
Among the risk factors for secondary hypertension are:
- Toxemia in pregnancy, ie the emergence of high pressure in pregnant women with no medical history of hypertension in your family.
- Stress is another factor that can lead to secondary hypertension, as well as workaholism and hyperactivity.
