Clinical Medicine Part 3 Flashcards
S4 heart sound consistent with
hypertension
HTN Target organ damage
- TIA, stroke
- retinopathy
- PVR
- renal failure
- LVH, CHD, HF-TIA, stroke
- retinopathy
- PVR
- renal failure
- LVH, CHD, HF
Hypertensive Urgency
- a systolic BP >180
- or a diastolic BP >130
- and NO evidence of end organ damage
Hypertensive Emergency
-may occur at any BP, but involves damage to at least one organ system
CV Signs of target organ involvement
- MI
- angina
- aortic dissection
- aneurysmal dilation of large vessels,
- LVH
- CHF
Renal signs of target organ involvement
hematuria, proteinuria, AKI
CNS signs of target organ involvement
Cerebral edema, altered mental status, bleed, stroke or TIA
Ophthalmologic signs of target organ involvement
- retinal hemorrhages or exudates, papilledema
- AV nicking
Atherosclerosis
- over 50 years old
- male predominance
- progressive
- 33% bilateral
- associated risks–tobacco, lipids, diabetes, etc.
Fibromuscular dysplasia
- age less than 40
- female predominance
- 60% bilateral
- responds to angioplasty
Renovascular HTN associated with renal artery stenosis
- stenosis is a progressive obstructive disease
- stenosis rate of 1.5%/month
- if untreated, can lead to total occlusion
- causes of stenosis and HTN are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia
Medial Fibromuscular dysplasia
- most common
- 9/1 females to males
- ages 25-45
- can be seen in carotids and iliac arteries
- 70% bilateral
- may appear as solitary mid and distal stenotic lesions or multiple constrictions with intervening aneurysmal dilations
Perimuscular dysplasia
-usually mid-distal portion of renal artery
Intimal fibromuscular dysplasia
- males and females equally affected
- infants and young adults more frequently
Unilateral Renal artery stenosis, 2 kidneys
- decreased intravascular volume
- more renin mediated (increased) than the others
- BP usually falls with ACE-Is
Bilateral renal artery stenosis
- increased intravascular volume
- renin mediation more varied
- ACE response unpredictable and may worsen HTN
