About this document
New Classification for Hypertensive Heart Disease by ireneaurelia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document proposes a new classification system for hypertensive heart disease (HHD) based on its main manifestations: ventricle, ischemia, and arrhythmia. It is a trichotomous classification similar to cancer staging systems. Each category (ventricle, ischemia, arrhythmia) is scored from 0-3 based on severity, from mild/early to severe/advanced. This aims to better characterize HHD than previous classifications by considering its various structural and functional effects on the heart from hypertension.
