Patient's question:
Female, 51 years old, primary hypertension. Mild fatty liver, reduced left ventricular diastolic function (reduced left atrial diameter, thickened interventricular septum). Took several medications with suboptimal results. The effect is very good. Can I take this medication long-term?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a risk factor for various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and requires active attention. It is necessary to persist in taking antihypertensive medication. An increase in your left ventricular diastolic function is clearly associated with hypertension. Active attention should be paid, integrating blood pressure levels, liver and kidney function, to appropriately determine the effectiveness of antihypertensive medication for yourself. Currently, if your medication is proving effective, you can continue taking it persistently. At the same time, it is recommended to regularly visit the cardiology department for follow-up checks to monitor your hypertension condition. Active attention should be paid, and consult promptly if any issues arise. Wishing you good health.In addition to treating fatty liver disease, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
