## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Hypertensive heart disease is any of a number of complications of arterial hypertension that affect the heart. It is one of the most common causes of death in western societies.

## Symptoms

[edit | edit source]

* fatigue
* irregular pulse
* swelling of feet
* dyspnea
* weight gain
* nausea
* shortness of breath
* difficulty sleeping flat in bed
* bloating
* greater need to urinate at night [1] [2]

## Conditions that can be caused by hypertensive heart disease

[edit | edit source]

* left ventricular hypertrophy
* coronary heart disease
* congestive heart failure
* hypertensive cardiomyopathy
* cardiac arrhythmias
