Questions and Answers

Which pathological change is most typical of severe hypertension?

  • Intracerebral hemorrhage
  • Hypertensive heart disease
  • Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis (correct)
  • Nephron loss and chronic renal failure
  • In malignant hypertension, the vascular changes are accompanied by which of the following?

  • Myocyte hypertrophy and cardiac dilation
  • Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta
  • Exacerbation of hypertension
  • Fibrinoid deposits and vessel wall necrosis (correct)
  • How does nephron loss contribute to the progression of hypertension?

  • It causes intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • It results in myocyte hypertrophy and cardiac dilation
  • It leads to exacerbation of the hypertension, creating a vicious circle (correct)
  • It is not directly linked to the progression of hypertension
  • What is the primary mechanism by which hypertension leads to hypertensive heart disease?
