These complications of hypertension are often referred to as end-organ damage because damage to these organs is the end result of chronic (long duration) high blood pressure. For that reason, the diagnosis of high blood pressure is important so efforts can be made to normalize blood pressure and prevent complications.

The purpose of this study was to further illustrate the relationship between baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) and hypertensive end-organ damage (EOD) and to test the hypothesis that impairment of BRS aggravates EOD in hypertension. ... The Medscape Journal ... Allergy & Clinical Immunology...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of inhibition of Ras-GTPase mediated signalling on the development of hypertension and end-organ damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats chronically treated with nitric oxide synthesis inhibitor L-NAME (SHR-L-NAME). ...

Conclusions— These results demonstrate a crucial role for p38 MAPK in hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy and end-organ damage. Interrupting its function with a specific p38 MAPK inhibitor halts clinical deterioration.

Long-term treatment with a selective p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB239063, provided a remarkable reduction in morbidity, mortality, and hypertensive end-organ damage and dysfunction.

Hypertensive end-organ damage and premature mortality are p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent in a rat model of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction. Paper-9062143. Little or no difference in blood pressure was noted in the treatment or vehicle groups.
