Hypertension of the 3rd degree is characterized by a significant increase in blood pressure, which leads to an increase in the load on the heart, due to which patients develop heart failure. The risk of complications increases, even in the absence of other adverse factors.. This pathology requires medical intervention and long, often life-long therapy, as the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old reports Pannochka. net 3 degree - the most difficult in the course of hypertension What is it - hypertension of 3 degrees and its risks Arterial hypertension (hypertension) is called an increase in blood pressure (BP), which is outside the normal range, t. above 130/90 mm RT. st. ICD-10 code - I10-I15. Hypertension makes up the vast majority of all cases of hypertension and is recorded in 35-40% of adults. With age, the incidence increases.. Recently, more and more often pathology is diagnosed in patients younger than 40 years old..

Hypertension is divided into three degrees:.

Blood pressure is 140–159 per 90–99 mmHg.. st.

HELL - 160–179 per 100–109 mmHg. st.

HELL - 180 per 110 mm RT. st. and higher.

For the diagnosis, data are used that are obtained during the collection of complaints, the study of the medical history, objective examination of the patient, and most importantly - the measurement of blood pressure. The pressure is measured three times, on both hands, daily blood pressure monitoring is also prescribed. In addition, electrocardiography, an ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs, a biochemical and clinical blood test, a general urinalysis are prescribed.

Patients with a third degree of hypertension need constant medical supervision and supportive therapy throughout their lives..

Depending on the degree of probability of target organ damage (t. those organs that suffer from circulatory disorders more than others, for example, the heart and brain) are allocated 4 risk groups:.

1 risk - the likelihood of developing complications is less than 15%, there are no aggravating factors;

2 risk - the probability of adverse effects is estimated in the range of 15–20%, there are no more than three aggravating factors;

3 risk - the likelihood of complications - 20-30%, there are more than three aggravating factors;

4 risk - the risk of complications exceeds 30%, there are more than three aggravating factors, target organ damage is observed.

The main aggravating factors include smoking, passive lifestyle, obesity, stress, malnutrition, endocrine system disorders.

In case of hypertension of the 3rd degree of risk 3, a disability group can be obtained, since this condition is accompanied by disorders of the heart, brain, kidneys, and visual analyzer. Even more often, disability is given in the diagnosis of hypertension of the 3rd degree of risk 4, since such patients may have impaired speech, thinking, motor functions, paralysis.

The prognosis depends on the timeliness and adequacy of the treatment, the patient's compliance with the doctor’s instructions. At grade 3 disease with a risk of 4, the prognosis is poor due to the extremely high risk of life-threatening complications.

Causes and risk factors for the development of hypertension Of all cases of hypertension, 95% are hypertension (primary or essential hypertension). In the remaining 5%, secondary or symptomatic arterial hypertension is recorded (neurological, stressful, renal, hemodynamic, drug, pregnant hypertension).

Risk factors include stress, psycho-emotional lability, overwork, unhealthy diet, overweight, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, bad habits.

Hypertension develops under the influence of adverse endogenous and exogenous factors, but as a rule, it is not possible to identify the exact cause that triggers the pathological mechanism.

Risk factors include stress, psycho-emotional lability, overwork, unhealthy diet (excessive consumption of salt, fatty, fried foods, poor diet), overweight, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, bad habits. Arterial hypertension may result from metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic lesions of blood vessels.
