Hypertension Part 3 | Target Organ Damage Explained | Heart, Brain, Kidney & Eye Changes

In Hypertension Part 3, we explore Target Organ Damage (TOD) — the most clinically relevant consequence of long-standing high blood pressure.

This video provides a system-wise, concept-based explanation of how hypertension damages major organs, with clinical correlations, graphs, classifications, and fundoscopic images.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:
Hypertensive Heart Disease and its impact on cardiovascular risk
Relationship between cardiac mass and CV events (graph-based explanation)
Cerebrovascular complications and cognitive effects of hypertension
Hypertensive nephropathy and progressive renal damage
Hypertensive retinopathy with:
Keith–Wagener–Barker classification
Pathological phases (schematic diagrams)
Oxford classification (mild vs severe retinopathy)
Fundoscopic images (Grades 1–4)
Retinal vein & artery occlusions

🩺 Clinical Pearl:
“Eyes are the window to visualize the entire organ system in hypertension.”

📌 Ideal for MBBS students, interns, residents, physicians, and exam preparation.
