Enlarged heart and kidney scarred by hypertension
Effects of hypertension on heart and kidney. Hypertension (high blood pressure) has caused renal atrophy and scarring, and left ventricular hypertrophy in the sectioned heart (right). In chronic hypertension the arteriole walls thicken. Resulting reduced renal blood flow causes chronic ischaemia and atrophy of the kidney tubules. Loss of functioning nephrons eventually leads to chronic renal failure and shrunken end-stage kidneys as seen here. The hearts left ventricle wall has enlarged to allow for the increased work of pumping blood to the tissues when arterial pressure is high. Hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy are associated with heart failure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the devastating effects of hypertension on both the heart and kidneys. The enlarged heart and scarred kidney serve as a visual representation of the detrimental impact that high blood pressure can have on these vital organs. In this image, we witness renal atrophy and scarring caused by chronic hypertension. The thickening of arteriole walls due to prolonged high blood pressure leads to reduced renal blood flow, resulting in chronic ischemia and atrophy of the kidney tubules. As functioning nephrons are lost over time, chronic renal failure occurs, leading to shrunken end-stage kidneys as depicted here. Simultaneously, we observe left ventricular hypertrophy in the sectioned heart. This enlargement is an adaptive response aimed at accommodating increased work required for pumping blood when arterial pressure remains elevated due to hypertension. However, this condition also puts individuals at higher risk for heart failure. The intricate connection between hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy becomes evident through this powerful image. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to manage blood pressure effectively to prevent such severe consequences on cardiovascular health. This thought-provoking photograph not only highlights the medical aspects but also emphasizes the importance of disease prevention and healthcare interventions in managing conditions like hypertension before they progress further.
