Hypertensive Heart Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hypertensive heart disease groups together the alterations of the heart that result from having sustained high blood pressure. Over time, the additional strain can modify the structure and function of the heart muscle.
How it relates to blood pressure: sustained hypertension forces the heart to work with greater demand, which can affect its performance.
Common symptoms: shortness of breath with exertion, fatigue, palpitations, or swelling, although in the early stages it may cause no discomfort.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and the internist assess the heart and the control of blood pressure. If you live with hypertension, regular follow-up helps care for cardiovascular health.
