Exam 1: HTN, ischemic heart, HF, cardiomyopathies Flashcards
what is essential htn
a HTN state without a specific cause
what percent of HTN is essential
95%
what are causes of essential htn
genetics
increases SNS activity to stress
overproduction of sodium retaining hormones and vasoconstricors
what is patho of essential HTN
-high Na intake
-inadequate K and Ca
-increases Renin
-deficient vasodilators (prostaglandins, NO)
-medical diseases like DM and obesity
what are treatments for essential htn
lifestyle modification (alcohol, tobacco, exercise)
pharmacology (ACEI, ARBs, BB, CCBs, Diuretics)
what is BP goal for essential HTN
<140/90
prevents CVA
what are causes of secondary htn
renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism
how is secondary HTN corrected
Sx correction (stent or open renal artery stenosis) (remove tumor for pheochromocytoma)
what percent of HTN is secondary
5%
what is the most common cause of secondary HTN
renal artery stenosis
what sound is associated with renal artery stenosis
abdominal bruit
if diastolic BP is above 125 it is likely to be
renal artery stenosis
how can hyperaldosterone be treated
spironolactone in females, amiloride in males
what must be monitored closely in HTN patients
renal function
K
what is the most common serious periop adverse event
CV complication
at what level should we keep patients MAP
20% and close to baseline
what are causes of decreased map intra op
meds
blood loss
what is the def of systemic HTN
BP >130/80 2 times 1-2 weeks apart
what is normal BP
<120/80
what is pre htn
120-139/80-89
what is stage 1 HTN
140-159/90-99
what is stage 2 HTN
> 160/>100
what is htn crisis
systolic >180 and/or diastolic >120
what can HTN crisis lead to?
end-organ damage, strain (ST changes, T wave change), LV hypertrophy, ischemia, atherosclerosis
