Impact of high blood pressure on men

Hypertension, whether in men or women, mainly affects organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes. 1. Impact on heart: long-term pressure load increase, can cause left ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation, making myocardial oxygen consumption increase, leading to myocardial ischemia, easy to combine with coronary artery atherosclerosis and microvascular lesions. 2. Impact on brain: long-term hypertension causes ischemia and degeneration of cerebral blood vessels, forming micro-aneurysms, and cerebral hemorrhage once rupture occurs. 3. Impact on kidney: long-term persistent hypertension increases the pressure of glomerular capsule, glomerular fibrosis, etc., leading to ischemia of renal parenchyma and decreasing of renal units, which eventually leads to chronic renal failure. 4. Impact on eyes: spasm of small retinal arteries may occur in the early stage, and sclerosis occurs as the disease progresses, resulting in clinical manifestations such as vision loss and blurred vision. Therefore, once diagnosed with hypertension, we should pay attention to it and make reasonable diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of doctors.
