Malignant hypertensive crisis

Arterial hypertension is a systematic stable increase in blood pressure. Hypertension is the most common disease of the cardiovascular system. An increase in blood pressure in the vessels occurs as a result of narrowing of the arteries and their smaller branches, called arterioles.

All the blood moves through the circulatory system of blood vessels, which is the main highway of blood movement. The heart contracts and moves the blood through the vessels, the blood presses on the walls of the vessels with a certain force. This force is called blood pressure. In other words, blood pressure promotes the movement of blood through the vessels.

A slight, sometimes even persistent increase in blood pressure does not mean the presence of a disease. If, at the same time, you do not have any risk factors and there are no signs of organ damage, at this stage hypertension is potentially eliminated. But, nevertheless, with an increase in blood pressure, it is necessary to consult a doctor, only he can determine the degree of the disease and prescribe treatment for arterial hypertension.
