Hypertensive Heart Disease -
|
If you're wondering which types of heart disease it may cause, there are several.
According to WebMD, there are three major types of heart disease frequently caused by high blood pressure. They are:
- Heart Failure - The heart doesn't pump efficiently, or strongly, enough raising pressure in the heart, and starving the rest of the body of needed nutrients and oxygen.
- Ischemic Heart Disease -In this condition the heart doesn't get enough blood, which is usually caused by atherosclerosis. It can frequently results in heart attacks.
- Left Ventricular Hypertrophy -This heart problem occurs when the walls of the heart thicken enough that it can't work right.
If you are already suffering with hypertensive heart disease, please read the pages I've already written dealing with the particular type of heart problem you've developed.
However, if you are currently dealing only with hypertension (high blood pressure), please realize that if you will treat your blood pressure problem aggressively, you may not have to deal with hypertensive heart disease at all.
This is definitely an area where an ounce of prevention will be worth more than a pound of cure!

Medicines Should be the Last Resort
Blood pressure does need to be controlled. But there are many natural ways to do so.Only if you've tried all of these natural methods, and nothing is working should it be necessary to go on prescription medicines.
Am I prejudiced against doctors and medicines? Not really, but doctors themselves will tell you, every drug they prescribe has side effects, and occasionally those side effects can even be life threatening. High blood pressure medications, without exception aren't good for your overall health.
While lowering your blood pressure they will be tending to cause further health problems in different areas. For example the most commonly prescribed pills to control blood pressure tend to be "thiazide diuretics".
These medicines have a bad effect on your blood fat (lipid) levels, and make it more likely that you will begin to have blood sugar control problems.So if you can control your blood pressure without resorting to prescription medications, you can avoid beginning the slippery slide down the hill toward hypertensive heart disease and death.
