Hypertension Malignant

Malignant hypertension is a hypertension manifested by a malignant course. The danger of malignant hypertension lies in the rapid development of dangerous complications such as stroke, heart failure and chronic damage to the vessels of the retina with subsequent blindness.

Malignant hypertension leads to dysfunction of internal organs due to the effect of increased blood pressure on the myocardium. As a result of damage to the vascular wall, blood viscosity increases and arteries narrow. This increases blood pressure, which affects the functional activity of almost all organs.

The manifestations characteristic of malignant and benign hypertension are identical, but differ in the speed of development. By this
