Hypertension
-
Like
Having
Repeated
Blunt
Scalpel
Dis-
sections
The
harm caused by hypertension
(high blood pressure) is no less
than
that caused by cancer but has
often
been
trivialized
because hypedension
has
very few symptoms; as the patient
feels well, there seems
to
have
no
immediate danger
-
it
takes
many
years
before complications would develop.
Thus, hypertension
is
like
a
time bomb
that
causes progressive destruction
and will
explode
one
day. Hypertension
is
the commonest cause
ol
stroke,
especially
in
China; for every pressure
rise
ol
5-6 mm mercury,
the
risk
of
stroke
rises 25-40"/";
lor
coronaries,
25-3O"/o.
One cannot
over
emphasize
the
importance
ol sustained
control of
hypertension.
Mr
Wang's chronic
hypertension resulted
in
heart
en-
largement
that predisposed
to
severely
irregular
heart beats
-
the cause of his
sudden death without
any
warning
at
all.
Mr He had sudden loss of vision
and his blood pressure was as high as
2001
1
201
There was serious
bleeding
in
his retina; despite eventual
control
of his hypertension, the
vision
never
recovered.
Mr
Li has hypertension and
high blood cholesterol. One
day,
he
suddenly had lower chest pain that got
worse rapidly, with profuse
sweating,
pallor and profound weakness. Finally,
ECG
found acute widespread
heart
muscle infarct (tissue death) that made
him a
cardiac
invalid.
