Patient's question:
My grandmother was recently carefully diagnosed with high blood pressure. It is said that high blood pressure is quite dangerous. Hello, what are the main target organs affected by high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a relatively common chronic disease. The main harm of this disease is to cause arteriosclerosis, which ultimately leads to inflammation of various organs, also known as the harm to target organs as you mentioned. The main target organs affected by hypertension include the heart, kidneys, brain, and large blood vessels. For example, hypertensive heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and hypertensive nephropathy, so it is essential to actively treat hypertension.
