| Abstract |
Arterial hypertension leads to cardiac restructuring and damage. This "hypertensive heart disease" includes left ventricular hypertrophy. In addition, it is also considered responsible for diastolic and systolic dysfunction, vascular manifestations of microangiopathy and in a broader sense also coronary heart disease as well as cardiac dysrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The pathophysiological mechanisms depend on a complex neurohumoral regulation and the ensuing change in cardiac structure and output. The initial compensation for increased cardiac demand is followed by permanent heart damage and successive decompensation. At this point the typical complaints involved in cardiac insufficiency or ischemia become evident. Determining the diagnosis is particularly important early on since the prognosis with regard to morbidity and mortality deteriorates if the hypertensive condition persists and the heart develops lasting damage. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 June 2009.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Die Innere Medizin
#92
of 495 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,916
of 107,678 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Innere Medizin
#1
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 495 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 107,678 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
