Zain Khalpey: How Chronic Hypertension Reshapes the Heart
Zain Khalpey, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Surgery at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Chronic hypertension increases cardiac workload, leading to structural changes that can progress to heart failure.
Early stages are characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, while prolonged hypertension can contribute to myocardial fibrosis, ventricular dysfunction, and chamber enlargement.
The illustration compares compensated and advanced hypertensive heart disease, highlighting changes in cardiac anatomy, ECG findings, and circulation.
Early detection and effective blood pressure management are important for preventing complications and slowing disease progression.”
