title: [Behavior of the heart in arterial hypertension].
abstract: Various aspects of the heart in hypertension, particularly ischaemic damage and its effects on angor, hypertrophy, decompensation, arrhythmias and sudden death are considered. As the cause of the genesis of these anatomopathological and clinical anomalies, hypertension plays an important role but if it is well controlled damage may regress appreciably. If it does not, other aetiologies like primary diabetes and arteriosclerosis independent of hypertension should be presumed.
