Hypertensive changes in the vasculature occur at all levels of the circulation--from the large arteries through to the microcirculation. Detection of these changes may offer useful predictive information in assessing cardiovascular risk and the need for treatment. Recent evidence shows that at least some of these changes are reversible with anti-hypertensive treatment.
血管系统的高血压性改变发生在循环系统的各个层面——从大动脉直至微循环。检测这些改变可能在评估心血管风险和治疗需求方面提供有用的预测信息。最近的证据表明,这些改变中至少有一些可通过抗高血压治疗逆转。
