However, it is important how significant the increased blood pressure is and whether there are already collateral effects caused by hypertension (a condition known as ‘hypertensive heart disease’). Another important aspect is anti-hypertensive drug therapy. Since in most cases an increased blood pressure requires treatment with medication with possible significant side effects, it’s necessary to evaluate whether these medications are compatible with recreational diving (with a focus on the beta-blocker class).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Es ist jedoch wichtig, wie stark der erhöhte Blutdruck ist und ob es bereits Kollateralschäden durch Bluthochdruck gibt (eine Erkrankung, die als „hypertensive Herzkrankheit“ bekannt ist). Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist die blutdrucksenkende medikamentöse Therapie. Da in den meisten Fällen ein erhöhter Blutdruck eine medikamentöse Behandlung mit möglicherweise erheblichen Nebenwirkungen erfordert, muss geprüft werden, ob diese Medikamente mit dem Freizeittauchen vereinbar sind (mit Schwerpunkt auf der Klasse der Betablocker).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
