Peculiarities of arterial hypertension of 3 degrees

The stage of the disease

Stages of development of hypertension proposed by the Soviet cardiologist Myasnikov A. L.

  • The first is characterized by functional changes.
  • Second — join the manifestations of atherosclerosis. In the fundus find narrowed arteries and dilated veins, recorded changes in the cardiac muscle, and great vessels.
  • The third is dominated by significant organic changes in the brain, heart, kidneys and other organs.
  1. Risk one complications of the disease is not present, the prognosis is favorable (only about 15% of cases can be affected target organs).
  2. The risk of the second degree are found to three factors aggravating the disease, the prediction of future defeats deteriorating to 20%.
  3. The risk of third degree — a significant number of complicating factors, the prognosis of complications up to 30%.
  4. Risk fourth degree — the prognosis is poor, lose in the heart, brain and kidneys has been, or will be in the near future more than 30% of patients.

Hypertension of the third degree only possible options 3 and 4.
Half of the patients in this phase hypertension, a thickening of the muscle of the left ventricle.

Kidneys reduced in size to 1/3-1/4 of its normal volume (shrunken kidney), renal tubules sclerotic (fibrous), the tissue is replaced by scar.
Blood vessels elastic and muscular type become dense due to overgrowth of the inner layer and the defeat of atherosclerosis.

Clinical manifestations of hypertension 3 degrees

For this stage of disease is characterized by more persistent symptoms compared with 1-2 stages.
