Age younger than 30 years Severe HTN or acute rise in BP (previously stable patient) Resistant HTN despite treatment with at least three antihypertensive agents Malignant HTN (severe HTN with end-organ damage such as retinal hemorrhages, papilledema, acute renal failure, and severe headache)
31
What is the difference between hypertensive urgency and emergency
SBP >180 mmHg and/or DBP >120 mmHg Urgency = no target organ damage Emergency = target organ damage (such as nausea and vomiting, increased intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebrovascular accident (CVA)/TIA, MI, acute PE, acute renal failure, retinopathy (flame-shaped hemorrhages), papilledema, or acute severe low-back pain (dissecting aorta).)

(low and slow w/ elderly)
34
Orthostatic Hypotension Who is at risk? How do you check?
Elderly at higher risk bc less active autonomic nervous system and slower metabolism of drugs by the liver Check BP in supine and standing, see if symptomatic with position changes (dizzy)

How do we use the ASCVD score in HTN management
1. assess 10 year risk 2. Reassess in 1 month after medication implimentation 3. If goal met, reassess in 3 and 6 months 4. If goal not met, consider different meds or titration, continue monthly until goals met
36
What is the goal BP for Stage 1 and Stage 2 HTN
<130/80 mmHg
37
When do you begin introducing HTN medication
At stage 1 if ASCVD risk >10% Any time at stage 2
38

62
Secondary Prevention (Presence of ASCVD)
Start statin with: -Patients with any form of clinical ASCVD (history of MI, CAD, angina, stroke/TIA, PAD, coronary revascularization) -Very high risk ASCVD (defined as a history of multiple major ASCVD events or one major ASCVD event with multiple high-risk conditions) -Diabetic patients with LDL of ≥70 mg/dL -Severe primary hypercholesterolemia (LDL of 190 mg/dL or higher)
63
extensor tendon xanthomas
Lipid deposits in tendons Achilles, subpatellar, or hand extensor tendons Refer to cardio(?) to rule out familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)
64
Statins
HMG-CoA reductase is the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for cholesterol synthesis. Statins inhibit this enzyme. They are best at lowering LDL. -risk of rhabdomyolysis -Check liver function labs -Can cause cognitive effects (memory loss and confusion) that are reversible once statin DC. BC brain and nerves mostly fat -Patients on simvastatin and lovastatin should avoid grapefruit juice. Also, they should not mix these two statins with macrolides.
65
Fibrates:
Gemfibrozil (Lopid), fenofibrate (Tricor), benzafibrate (Bezalip). Do not use with severe renal disease. Action: Reduces production of triglycerides by the liver and increases production of HDL.
66
Bile Acid Sequestrants
Cholestyramine (Questran Light), colestipol (Colestid), colesevelam (Welchol) Action: Work locally in the small intestine; interfere with fat absorption, including fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) -Good alternative if cannot tolerate statin and fibrates -No hepatotoxicity SE: Bloating, flatulence
67
Cholesterol-Absorption Inhibitors
Ezetimibe (Zetia) Absorbs cholesterol from the small intestines Contraindications: Active liver disease, elevated ALT/AST Can be taken alone or combined with a statin or fibrate Side effects: Diarrhea, joint pains, tiredness

69
Memorize these statin case scenarios
An adult (21–75 years) with any type of ASCVD (e.g., CAD, PAD, stroke, TIA) is given high-intensity statins such as atorvastatin 40 to 80 mg or rosuvastatin 20 to 40 mg. An adult with LDL >190 mg/dL (without ASCVD or DM) is a candidate for high-intensity statin dosing.
