Do not everyone know, for example, that hypertensive are included in the risk group on the development of heart failure, heart attack and stroke. Recall the beautiful Sharon Stone, which in 2001 suddenly struck stroke. But, probably, she also considered the heightened pressure of nonsense ..
Hypertension suffers quite a large number of people, among them there are many young, who at their age somehow it is not customary to follow their pressure. So the poor hypertensive are tormented, and they can get rid of themselves from trouble and unhealthy well-being!
Did you ever measured your blood pressure? Do this at least out of curiosity. Normal is the pressure of less than 140/90 mm RT. Art. - Conditionally adopted border, above the level of which the person, regardless of age, is sharply increasing the risk of developing myocardial infarction, stroke. Elevated blood pressure (blood pressure) is customary to call arterial hypertension.
Studies of the last 2-3 years have shown that in the future this border will probably be less than 135/85 mm RT. Art. It has been established that at the magnitude of blood pressure 110-125 / 60-85 mm RT. Art. The risk of developing heart attacks and strokes is minimal, it doubles with an increase in systolic (upper) Hell by 20 mm RT. Art., and diastolic (lower) - by 10 mm RT. Art.
For the population of most countries, Russia belongs to them, is characterized by regularity: no more than 50% of people who are characteristic of! Of these, half takes measures to reduce it. Many people think: I have slightly elevated blood pressure (for example, hesitated within 140-160 / 90-100 mm RT. Art.), nothing is particularly bothering, it means that you can not be treated. With inattentive attitude to his own health problems not to avoid. The consequences of indifference to deterioration of well-being are different.
Unfortunately, with examples of indifferent to themselves, the relationship of patients and serious consequences of diseases doctors face daily. The result is deplorable: for the rest of the rest of the life of a person remains disabled, can not be engaged in an interesting thing, care for himself, and sometimes becomes a "curb" for a family for many years.
Do not be furious to... To myself
To changes in the state of their body, it is necessary to listen to and on time to react. Many do not pay any attention to the first nonspecific manifestations of an increase in blood pressure: general weakness, headache, feeling of gravity or discomfort in the field of the heart, hoping that unpleasant symptoms will be held by themselves. And in vain.
It is at the first signals of deviations from the norm of well-being necessary Measure your pressure, and when it is raised to consult a doctor to prevent serious consequences. In no case can not be engaged in self-medication, entrust your health to specialists. Do not launch health problems and deal with the effective prevention of infarction and strokes.
For competent treatment and prevention of complications, it is necessary to know that increased blood pressure (even asymptomatic) leads to changes in the arterial wall in all vital human organs: the heart, the brain, kidneys, Eyes. It is with changes in their normal operation and the following development of clinical manifestations of hypertension is associated with.
Is it worth reminding how important it is to take care of your heart, listen to the rhythm of his blows?! In arterial hypertension with the heart of a person there are big changes. Changes in the work of this important organ, as well as in the walls of the vessels, obey the laws of hydrodynamics, when the voltage in the chamber wall is less than its thickness.
Increased pressure leads to the growing myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart - the main pump - and an increase in the thickness of the vessel wall. At an elevated level of cholesterol, the atherosclerosis of heartfood often accompanies - changes predisposing to the development of thrombosis of these arteries, manifested by angina or myocardial infarction.
Against the background of increased blood pressure in the brain vessels, an atherosclerotic lesion can also develop, and the vessel spasm and its thrombosis lead to the development of ischemic stroke. In congenital predisposition, the local expansion of the artery wall of the brain is developing with the formation of aneurysm. Her gap against the background of increasing blood pressure leads to the development of hemorrhage.
Even in the absence of atherosclerosis of the arteries of the brain, sharp rise of blood pressure due to spasm arteries can lead to the local death of the brain cells - the development of microinsults. Their diagnosis is quite possible due to the rapid development and widespread introduction into the clinical practice of computer technology.
...The health of people is always worried about medical scientists. Currently, seven groups of drugs are developed and presented on the Russian market, effectively reduce blood pressure. Based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, testimony and contraindications to their use are developed and constantly refineed.
In the selection of the drug, the determination of the dose, as well as the means of adjusting treatment will help your attending physician. He will decide whether it is more effective to carry out treatment with one drug or apply combined treatment, taking into account the affected organs (heart, brain, vessels, kidneys, eyes) and the presence of concomitant diseases.
Important: If you feel ailment, do not put yourself diagnosed. Contact your specialists who put an accurate diagnosis of your disease and prescribe treatment.
