Answer:
The answer is B. False
Step-by-step explanation:
When arterial pressure increases, this places a greater burden on the heart, at the time of cardiac contraction, to maintain blood circulation. This greater burden on the heart forces it to a greater consumption of energy by the myocardium and to a hyperplasia, which leads sooner or later to a cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure if it is not properly managed. Hypertensive patients are initially asymptomatic, so periodical control of them is recommended and more if there are personal factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking among others.
