Symptoms of Hypertensive Heart Disease

Hypertension and heart disease are very harmful to the human body. Although these diseases may occur, they must be treated in time after suffering from such diseases. In addition, in life, if you suffer from these two diseases, you must make reasonable arrangements in diet, emotions, and exercise. This will be very helpful in preventing the development of the disease. What are the symptoms of hypertensive heart disease?

Many people are not very clear about the symptoms of hypertensive heart disease. When suffering from this disease, the patient's body will also have obvious symptoms. So what are the symptoms? The following is a detailed introduction.

Symptoms of Hypertensive Heart Disease:

1. Early clinical manifestations

Early manifestations are generally atypical. Patients may have no obvious symptoms or only mild discomfort such as headache, chest tightness, etc. These symptoms are mainly general symptoms of hypertension and are not specific.

2. Progressive clinical manifestations

In hypertension, the arterial pressure is too high, which hinders the heart from pumping blood. Long-term high-load work of the heart causes myocardial hypertrophy and increased stiffness, which eventually leads to obstruction of the pulmonary venous blood entering the heart and the formation of pulmonary congestion. When the myocardium is enlarged, the oxygen demand increases and the blood supply is relatively insufficient, which often leads to heart failure. The clinical manifestations of diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure are similar and difficult to differentiate clinically. The clinical features of heart failure caused by hypertension are as follows:

(1) Due to abnormal left ventricular diastolic/systolic function, pulmonary congestion may occur, mainly manifested as

① Dyspnea caused by exertion; ② Shortness of breath when lying flat, which improves after sitting up; ③ Dyspnea occurs even when the amount of activity is not large, and in severe cases the patient may wake up from sleep; ④ In severe cases, the patient may orthopnea, cough, and cough up pink foamy sputum.

(2) Left heart failure can often lead to a decline in right ventricular function, resulting in total heart failure, which is mainly manifested by

① The jugular vein is obviously full; ② Right upper abdominal pain and liver enlargement; ③ Edema of both lower limbs, and in severe cases, systemic edema may occur; ④ Oliguria.

The above is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of hypertensive heart disease. When the above situation occurs, patients need to go to the hospital for examination in time to receive treatment. For heart disease patients, they should pay attention to their diet during the treatment of the disease and eat less greasy food, otherwise it will not help the treatment of the disease.
