[The Most Terrifying Hazards of Hypertension]
1. Coronary heart disease
Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for coronary heart disease. The risk of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients is twice that of normal individuals. If hypertension is not treated for a long time, 50% of patients will die from coronary heart disease.
2. Diabetes
The incidence of hypertension in the diabetic population is twice that of the normal population. The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension is quite common, and it is an important cause of arteriosclerosis and renal failure in patients.
3. Heart failure
Heart failure is a common complication of hypertension. Epidemiological studies have shown that 40%-50% of heart failure cases are caused by hypertension. The higher the blood pressure and the lack of treatment, the greater the likelihood of developing heart failure.
