Hypertensive heart disease with (congestive) heart failure - what does this mean
Hypertensive heart disease with congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs due to high blood pressure, leading to an accumulation of fluid in the lungs and other tissues. this accumulation of fluid can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling of the extremities.
What happens during the disease - hypertensive heart disease with (congestive) heart failure
Hypertensive heart disease with congestive heart failure is caused by long-term, uncontrolled high blood pressure, which increases the workload on the heart and causes the left ventricle to thicken and become stiff. over time, this leads to the heart becoming less efficient and unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, resulting in a build-up of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body, leading to congestive heart failure.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of further complications and improve the quality of life.
- Prescribing medications to lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.
- Prescribing diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the body.
- Prescribing ACE inhibitors or ARBs to reduce stress on the heart.
- Prescribing beta blockers to slow heart rate and reduce blood pressure.
- Prescribing anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots.
- Encouraging lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and increasing physical activity.
- Recommending dietary changes, such as reducing sodium intake.
- Monitoring blood pressure and other vital signs.
- Monitoring for signs and symptoms of heart failure.
