Q

HT pathophysiology:

A

BP > stress induced vasospasm > arteriole narrowing
Sustained BP > vessel hyperplasia/wall degeneration > AV nipping, vein tortuisity, copper wiring
Loss of BBB > fluid leakage/ischemia > hemorrhage (dot/blot), hard exudate, CWS
Intracranial HT > optic nerve ischemia/swelling/pallor

Q

AV nipping:

A

Artery hyperplasia > thickening > increased pressure on venules
Ususally veins under artery is visible (transparent arteries), hyperplasia > decreased transparency
Leads to vein tortuisity
