 Hello Mkkg2004,
Often with hypertension, echocardiograms are done to look for changes of the heart due to the hypertension. While a blood pressure of 200/100 can be dangerous, these intermittent spikes in blood pressure generally do not lead to changes of the heart. The changes seen on an echocardiogram generally represent compensation for long standing hypertension.
Best wishes.
