| Cardiac structure and function can change as responses to hypertension and the accompanying neurohormones, growth factors, cytokines and so on, which lead to all kinds of arrhythmia, finally progress to heart failure with decreased ejection fraction. Active treatments are effective in delaying and controlling the progression of HHD, even in reversing cardiac remodeling and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
