Understanding Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease and Ischemic Heart Disease

Hypertensive cardiovascular disease and ischemic heart disease are two critical conditions affecting the heart. Hypertensive cardiovascular disease is caused by high blood pressure, leading to damage to the heart's arteries, heart failure, and other complications. Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, occurs when the heart's blood supply is reduced due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, resulting in chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart attacks. Both conditions require timely diagnosis and management to prevent severe heart-related issues.
