HTN 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Hypertensive Urgency

A

Severe elevations in BP (SBP >180 and/or DBP >120) in
otherwise stable pts without target organ damage (TOD).

Symptoms: None or minimal

Cause: Usually related to nonadherence
Goal: Lower BP gradually (hours to days); decreasing BP
too quickly can cause CVA, MI

Things to do
Sit there and wait 5 minutes

Restart or titrate therapy
Pt should follow in 1 week
If there is still the same, then ask if they have symptoms.
Make sure they have taken their medicines.
Symptoms of TIA or heart attack. (difficult breathing, visual call 911)
If someone says they have a headache but not a vision issue they are cleared
Start taking your medication and it will take 2-3 days and weeks

Q

Hypertensive Emergency

A

Severe elevations in BP (SBP >180 and/or DBP >120) in otherwise stable pts with target organ damage (TOD).
Symptoms: Yes
Goal: Lower BP minutes to hours by no more than 25%, and then lowered to 160/100-110 within the next 2-6 hours

This is only when people feel their blood pressure, there is target organ damage,
There will be headaches and vision changes
There can be drug-induced causes but usually, it is non-adherence.
MAKE SURE DO NOT lower their blood too much that it will be very low. Lower it by 25% and then work on it more

Q

What is Resistant Hypertension

A

Office B.P above goal and _>3 antihypertensives (if pt is taking 3-4 meds and HTN is not controlled it is resistant HTN.

Risk factors are: older age CKD, black race, DM

Medication adherence, Whitecoat HTN, and POOR blood pressure technique

Q

How to improve resistant HTN?

A

Removing contributing lifestyle factors are: Obesity, Physical activity, Excessive ETOH, High salt, low fiber diet.

Discontinue interfering substances such as NSAIDS, SYMPATHOMEMATICS, stimulants, Oral contraceptives, Licorice, Ephedra

Optimize current drugs and doses → ARB/ACE AND CCB. If PT is taking HTCZ change to chlorthalidone for better outcomes.

For pt not controlled on 3 drugs consider adding 
add spironolactone ( aldosteorne antagonist)

Q

WHITE COAT HTN

A

Some patients can get REALLY nervous before their blood pressure is taken. They can have high BP readings taken at the clinic than when taken outside of the clinic.

20/10 INCREASE IN WHITE coat HTN

Q

SOltuon to White coat HTN

A

24hr Ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)
Monitor the blood pressure at home (HBPM or SMBP)
Home blood pressure monitoring provides a “truer” blood pressure reading

Q

Special Populations Race AND Ethnicity

A

Black pt has a higher prevalence of htn , lower control rates, and higher rates of mortality.
Initial therapy Thiazide-type diuretic or CCB the best choice for single-drug therapy
Most pt will require 2 or more meds to reach the goal → ACE inhibitor or ARB is recommended as an add-on or used when compelling indication.

Q

Elderly people with ISH regimens are

A

Often have ISH Isolated systolic HTN
After age 60 DBP gradually decrease while SBP continues to rise
BP-lowering decreases the risk of fatal and non-fetal stroke and CV events and death
Dihydropyridine CCBs (amlodipine, nifedipine) are effective in older patients with ISH

Q

Elderly people: Higher risk for B.P Med side effect

A

Orthostatic hypotension
Risk of syncope/falls
Volume depletion
Electrolyte problems

18
Q

Special Population Men’s

A

68 % of men with HTN have erectile dysfunction

Worse: Thiazide-diuretics Beta blockers
Neutral: ACEI’s CCBs

19
Q

erectile dysfunction in men can be addressed by

A

Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors can be co-administered

with antihypertensive medications with the benefit

20
Q

Pregnancy Special populations:

A

Pt who are pregnant and develop high blood pressure should be monitored closely also known as PRE eclampsia

21

It pt is having higher than 300 UACR

A

ACE will be used

37
Q

Management of HTN in Pts with a previous history of stroke:

A

Optimal BP goal <130/80
The prevalence of HTN in patients who experience a recurrent stroke is 70%
An individual who experiences an initial stroke or TIA: will have another chance of stroke
Case mortality rate is 41% after a recurrent stroke (versus 22% after an initial stroke)
ACEI/ARB thiazide diuretic are the fist line

38
Q

First-line therapy for Management of HTN in Pts with a previous history of stroke or recurrent stroke:

A

39
Q

According to the Systolic blood pressure intervention Trial the first-line therapy

A

First line Tx: combination of ACEI/ARBs, thiazides, CCBs

40
Q

Drugs to be approved for heart failure are

A

Metoprolol succinate
Bisoprolol
Carvedilol

Spironolactone should be given with caution due to low K+
