    Left ventricular hypertrophy. Hypertensive heart disease is the result of structural and functional adaptations [18] leading to left ventricular hypertrophy, [19] [20] [21] diastolic dysfunction, [18] [20] CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), abnormalities of blood flow due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease [18] and microvascular disease, [10] [19] and cardiac arrhythmias.

    Dilated blood vessels can also develop on the legs, although when they occur on the legs, they often have underlying venous reflux or "hidden varicose veins" (see Venous hypertension section below). When found on the legs, they are found specifically on the upper thigh, below the knee joint and around the ankles.

    The prolonged use of β-blockers results in the blockade of β-receptors, causing cells (mainly myocardial cells) to increase their expression of β-receptor. After removing the blockage, more receptors available for stimulation, resulting in higher sensitivity of β-receptors called the hypersensitivity of β-receptors. [ 34 ]
