Secondary HTN can be due to:
Hyperthyroidism
Cushing’s
Unilateral renal artery stenosis
pheochromocytoma
Rapidly progressing HTN that can lead to stroke or heart failure and early death:
Malignant hypertension
These patients present with dyspnea on exertion, basal crackles in both lungs, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, raised jugular venous pressure, tender hepatomegaly, and bilateral pitting ankle.
CHF
CHF is caused by: 5
Coronary artery disease HTN Valvular heart disease Congenital heart disease cardiomyopathy
Disease myocardium is called:

COPD
Pulmonary embolism
Occurs when heart is compressed due to excess fluid in pericardial sac
Cardiac tamponade
Beck’s triangle associated with:
Cardiac tamponade
What is Beck’s triangle:
Hypotension
Heart sounds distant
High jugular venous pressure
Caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of large arteries:
Peripheral vascular disease

Peripheral vascular disease
This is related to Virchow’s triad:
Deep vein thrombosis
Virchow’s triad is:
Viscosity - increased clotting
Stasis - in veins from prolonged immobilization
Damage - to the endothelium of vessel wall/trauma
May be associated with Factor V Leiden defect
