Popis: HYPERTENSIVE heart disease can be defined as the response of the heart to the afterload imposed on the left ventricle by the progressively increasing arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance produced by hypertensive vascular disease. Although the response sometimes appears to be out of proportion to the level of the arterial pressure, it is primarily the result of the hemodynamic overload. Hypertension can cause or is related to various cardiac manifestations, among them left ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, and ischemic heart disease.
