I11: Hypertensive heart disease
I11.9: Hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure
Hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure is a medical condition that occurs when your heart has to work harder than usual over a prolonged period due to high blood pressure, but it does not result in the heart failing to pump blood efficiently. This increased workload can lead to changes in the heart like enlargement or thickening of the heart muscle and can have an impact on the arteries, making them narrower and less elastic. This disease often does not show symptoms in its early stages, but as it progresses, it may lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, tiredness, and irregular heartbeat. Unknown factors contribute to the disease's progression and it has a profound impact on the cardiovascular system.
