1. Cerebral hemorrhage.

High blood pressure causes arteriosclerosis, resulting in brittle blood vessels, which can easily cause blood vessel rupture, and there are nearly 8 million disabled people with sequelae of stroke in China.

2. Heart failure.

Hypertension can lead to compensatory hypertrophy of the heart muscle, resulting in cardiac ischemia, hypoxia, and hypertensive heart disease, which can lead to heart failure at any time.

3. Kidney failure.

Hypertension leads to glomerular arteriosclerosis, resulting in renal excretion dysfunction, disorders of water-salt metabolism and acid-base balance, and uremia.

4. Coronary heart disease.

High blood pressure causes arteriosclerosis of large and small arteries throughout the body, and once coronary arteriosclerosis is formed, it lives with the threat of myocardial ischemia every day.

5. Diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus can be complicated by arteriosclerosis, which can cause foot ulcers, and multiple lesions of the cardiovascular, renal (and in severe cases, renal failure), nerves, and retina.
