Hypertension Meds Fail ? Maybe It’s Conn’s Syndrome

This artery over here is the aorta, the biggest artery. It leaves the heart superiorly over here. Hypertension, that is an increase of blood pressure can damage this artery and when it’s damaged under hypertension. It is prone to development of atherosclerotic changes. It is not rare that atherosclerosis almost completely closes the aorta and if atherosclerosis and hypertension can do that to a large artery such as aorta, imagine what it can do to smaller arteries. Smaller arteries Supply brain with fresh oxygenated blood. They also Supply the human heart with fresh oxygenated blood. Now, It is not surprising that hypertension is associated with dangerous lethal and deadly outcomes such as heart failure, stroke and heart attack. We mostly don’t know what causes hypertension but there are good ways to treat it and despite having different types of medication to treat hypertension. This sometimes, We simply cannot get that blood pressure under control in such cases.
