Hypertension Complications

When blood pressure stays high over long time, then it may lead to many complications such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply your heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood.

Heart Failure

Heart failure is a condition in which your heart can't pump enough blood to your body. Heart failure doesn't mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. It means that your heart can't fill with enough blood or pump with enough force, or both.

Stroke or Brain attack

A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to any part of the brain. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack."

Kidney Disease

The kidneys play a key role in keeping a person's blood pressure in a healthy range, and blood pressure, in turn, can affect the health of the kidneys. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, can damage the kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
