What are the histological features of hypertensive heart disease?

Hypertensive heart disease is associated with chronic high blood pressure, leading to changes in the heart and blood vessels. In the heart, there is often left ventricular hypertrophy, characterized by an increase in the size of myocardial cells and thickening of the ventricular wall. Histologically, this is marked by enlarged myocytes with hyperchromatic nuclei and interstitial fibrosis.
