    The major risk with oral agents is ischemic symptoms (e.g., angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or stroke) due to an excessive and uncontrolled hypotensive response. [23] Thus, their use should generally be avoided in the treatment of hypertensive crises if more controllable drugs are available. [citation needed]

    CT scan of two lacunar infarctions. Moments after an ischemic stroke, lesions are established that can be detected. Hypertension is the leading cause of strokes and studies show that it increases the risk of a stroke by 220% [17] [18] and stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. [19] High blood pressure weakens arteries (small ...

    Commonly, ischemic heart attack and stroke are the causes that lead to death in patients with severe hypertension. It is estimated that for every 20 mm Hg systolic or 10 mm Hg diastolic increase in blood pressures above 115/75 mm Hg, the mortality rate for both ischemic heart disease, cancer and stroke doubles.

    The most common presentation of cerebrovascular disease is an ischemic stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes a hemorrhagic stroke. [2] Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the most important contributing risk factor for stroke and cerebrovascular diseases as it can change the structure of blood vessels and result in atherosclerosis. [5]

  7. Complications of hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_hypertension

    The incidence of stroke rises progressively with increasing blood pressure levels, particularly systolic blood pressure in individuals >65 years. Treatment of hypertension convincingly decreases the incidence of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. [41] Hypertension is also associated with impaired cognition in an aging population.

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
