Detection of Chronic Heart Failure in Patients with Hypertension

Chronic heart failure is a global problem, affecting 1-2% of the population and approximately 64 million people worldwide. In patients with arterial hypertension, a compensatory mechanism develops under constant high pressure, causing hypertrophy of the left ventricle and chronic heart failure with initially preserved ejection fraction, and later chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Detection of chronic heart failure in patients with arterial hypertension in the early stages and the use of necessary treatment measures have a positive effect on the disease and lead to preserving of ejection fraction.
