Understanding The Causes And Complications Of Turner Syndrome

Hypertension

Many Turner syndrome patients experience hypertension as a complication. This means that they have high blood pressure! Many women will have had this complication start in their childhood. However, it is important to be aware that it will still develop later! High blood pressure increases the risk of heart problems, including heart disease, in individuals with Turner syndrome. High blood pressure is especially dangerous in Turner syndrome patients since they are already at a higher risk of heart issues!

Individuals have hypertension when their blood pressure is 130 to 139 systolic over 80 to 89 diastolic. This reading is typically presented as 130/80. Of course, their blood pressure can be even higher. When this happens, it is particularly serious!
