¿La hipertensión afecta al corazón?

Recientemente me diagnosticaron hipertensión y engrosamiento de las paredes del corazón. ¿Existe alguna correlación?

    Yes, there is a correlation between hypertension and thickening of the heart walls, as high blood pressure can cause the heart to work harder, leading to thickening of the heart muscle. This thickening, also known as left ventricular hypertrophy, can be a complication of uncontrolled hypertension, so it's great that you're taking steps to manage your condition!

    Yes, high blood pressure can affect your heart. It makes your heart work harder, which can lead to thickening of the heart walls.

    The heart is a muscle. The harder it works, the  thicker the muscle will get. High blood pressure causes the heart to work harder so yes, there is a correlation
