| | Hypertension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Malignant hypertension (or accelerated hypertension) is distinct as a late phase in the condition, and may present with headaches, blurred vision and end-organ damage. | | | These steps are highly effective in reducing blood pressure, but easier to suggest than to achieve, and most patients with moderate or severe hypertension end up requiring indefinite drug therapy to bring their blood pressure down to a safe level. | | | Since most of what we know of hypertension and its outcome with or without modification is based on large series of readings in doctors' offices and clinics (e.g., Framingham), it is difficult to be sure that white-coat hypertension is not significant. |

| | The diastolic pressure, or the second number, measures the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart is relaxed and refilling with blood. | | | The heart has to work harder in order to pump the blood through the body when it is working against this elevated pressure, and this can eventually lead to an enlarged heart and heart damage. | | | At this point, anti-hypertensive medications are needed to help control the blood pressure. |
