Arterial Hypertension: The Quiet Assassin
The world-wide organizations of the health, epidemiologist doctors and
other specialists in public health live worried with the purpose of establishing
criteria of well-taken care of and measures of prevention for this quiet
enemy.
"Quiet enemy" says itself to him, because in most of the times,
the people who suffer of arterial hypertension do not suffer of any type
of sintomatologia. One says that a person suffers of hypertension when
their numbers of arterial tension surpass or equal the 140/90 millimeters
of mercury.
These numbers reveal the force that it has to make the heart in each
beat to overcome the resistance of the arteries that are the blood vessels
ordered to take the blood that comes oxygenated from the lungs towards
the rest of the organism.
The cardiovascular apparatus is a closed circuit constituted by a pump
(the heart) and pipes that are the blood vessels (arteries and veins)
and that in addition has connections with other organs like the brain
and the kidney.
In a circuit, when an increase of pressure takes place undergo all its
components, and it is why one says that the hypertension has its favorite
white organs: the brain, the arteries of the bottom of the eye, the heart
and the kidneys. It is by that reason that actually medical, not only
evaluates the numbers of the pressure but their consequences in these
organs.
Often examinations of the bottom of the eye take place to see as they
are the arteries of the retina (is the only place of the organism where
they are possible to be seen at first) and in agreement with its caliber
and brightness, can be detected damages caused by the hypertension. Also
electrocardiograms are asked for to evaluate the effect of the high pressure
on the heart as well as to analyze the function of the kidneys.
It is very difficult to say to a patient who must take medicines during
the rest from his life because she only has high the indices of his arterial
pressure and she does not have any other symptom.
Its great importance resides in which the studies epidemiologists have
established who if the arterial pressure is controlled, can be diminished
considerably their injurious effects in the entire human organism. 150
conceived medicines exist more than to lower the numbers of the hypertension.
In the European Congress of Hypertension in Paris a study of 6 years
of duration has appeared that included to more than 15,000 patients of
33 countries, to evaluate the effects of two of used drugs more at the
moment for the treatment of the arterial pressure.
These are "the blocking" medicines of the channels of calcium
on the one hand, and by the other, the inhibitors of the convertidora
enzyme "of the angiotensina". By rarer that they seem these
specific names, most important it is than the patients that took the last
one from the mentioned ones, saw reduced the possibilities of suffering
of diabetes in more of a 23 percent of the cases.
It is possible to clarify that the associate arterial hypertension to
the diabetes
produces an accelerated much greater damage and more in the organism.
For this reason medical science and one of its active arms: the investigation,
at all costs tries to discover medicines to effectively fight this no
longer so quiet enemy.
