PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF HYPERTENTION

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF HYPERTENTION:  In hypertension, the force exerted on the walls of blood vessels is higher than the expected value and the higher it goes, forces the rapture of the tinniest blood vessels we know as blood capillaries.  Remember these vital extremes of cardiovascular system are the areas where blood and body tissues exchange materials like glucose, oxygen and minerals.  The rapture of this microvasculature will lead to blood spilling over any associated organs and the resultant medical conditions will be depending on the organ associated.  If that happens in the brain tissue, that is where we are going to come up with conditions like hemorrhagic stroke also known as cerebral vascular accident linked in the related section below.
