Here is the translated text: **What is Hypertensive Heart Disease?** Hypertensive heart disease is also known as hypertensive cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease. It occurs when high blood pressure (hypertension) damages the heart and its blood vessels. **Causes and Risk Factors of Hypertensive Heart Disease:** The main causes of hypertensive heart disease are: - Uncontrolled hypertension. - Diabetes, obesity, and other medical conditions that affect your kidneys or heart. - Inactivity or sedentary lifestyle. - Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. - High cholesterol levels. Symptoms may not appear in the early stages of this condition. When symptoms do occur, they can include: - Chest pain. - Breathing difficulties. - Swelling in the legs and feet. - Dizziness or fainting spells. The heart muscle becomes thicker as high blood pressure damages it. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. **Diagnosis of Hypertensive Heart Disease:** If you have symptoms, your healthcare provider may order a non-invasive test like an echocardiogram or an ultrasound. These tests can help detect changes in the heart muscle and its function. **Treatment of Hypertensive Heart Disease:** The main treatment for hypertensive heart disease is controlling high blood pressure through: - Medications such as diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, and potassium replacements. - Healthy lifestyle choices such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress reduction techniques, and adequate sleep. **How Do I Manage Symptoms with Hypertensive Heart Disease?** To manage symptoms effectively, follow these steps: - Keep taking the medicines your provider ordered. - Get treated for any medical conditions you have. - Make healthier changes to your lifestyle. - Keep going to your follow-up medical appointments. You can decrease your risk of hypertensive heart disease with lifestyle changes such as: - Exercising regularly. - Staying at a healthy weight. - Eating healthy foods. **Prevention of Hypertensive Heart Disease** Get your blood pressure checked once a year if you’re older than 18. Get readings more often if your numbers are high. If your blood pressure is high, bring it down and keep it down. You can purchase a blood pressure monitor you can use at home. If high blood pressure is found early and treated, it may keep you from getting: - Stroke. - Heart disease. - Chronic kidney disease. - Eye problems. Other things you can do include treating your diabetes and high cholesterol levels. **Outlook / Prognosis of Hypertensive Heart Disease** Hypertensive heart disease is a long-term disease that takes years to develop. Over time, people who have it are at a higher and higher risk of dying from a cardiovascular problem. The prognosis for people with hypertensive cardiovascular disease is different from person to person, depending on: - What symptoms you’re having. - Whether you have cardiovascular disease or risk factors. - Other medical conditions you have. **Living with Hypertensive Heart Disease** When you have high blood pressure, it’s essential to keep taking your medicines to control your blood pressure. You also need to watch for problems that start to develop and treat them promptly. Conditions to watch for include: - Ventricular hypertrophy. - Atrial fibrillation. - Angina. - Heart failure. **What Questions Should I Ask My Doctor?** Ask the following questions when you see your doctor: - What is my personal risk of hypertensive heart disease? - Is there anything else I can do to reduce my risk of hypertensive heart disease? Key Takeaways High blood pressure is a very common condition, but some people don’t even know they have it. If you have been told you have high blood pressure, it’s essential to take the medicines your provider ordered for you. Keeping your blood pressure under control is a key factor in preventing hypertensive heart disease. You have the power to make healthy changes in your life for a healthy heart.
