Hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure - what does this mean
Hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure occurs when the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood due to high blood pressure, resulting in the thickening of the heart muscle and the weakening of the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. over time, this can lead to heart enlargement and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
What happens during the disease - hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure
Hypertensive heart disease is characterized by the thickening of the left ventricle of the heart due to the long-term effects of elevated blood pressure. this thickening of the heart muscle can reduce its ability to pump blood, leading to the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, which can cause further complications, such as arrhythmias, decreased coronary blood flow, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Control of blood pressure to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
- Lifestyle changes, such as reducing salt intake, exercising, and quitting smoking.
- Medications to lower blood pressure, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers, and diuretics.
- Dietary changes, such as eating a diet low in saturated fat and sodium.
- Weight loss, if necessary.
- Monitoring of blood pressure and other risk factors, such as cholesterol and diabetes.
