Question 20

Table 2. Proper In-office Procedure for BP Measurement

Answer 20

1. Person is seated quietly for at least 5 minutes on a chair and not on the exam table with the feet on the floor and the arm supported at heart level. 2. Caffeine, exercise, and smoking should be avoided at least 30 minutes before the measurement. 3. Appropriately sized cuff should be used. Cuff bladder should circle at least 80% of the arm. 4. At least 2 measurements should be made and the average recorded. 5. BP measurement while standing is indicated periodically, especially among individuals at risk for postural hypotension before adjusting their drug regimen and those who report symptoms consistent with reduced BP upon standing 6. Manual BP determination and palpated radial pulse should be used to estimate SBP. Cuff should be inflated 20-30 mm Hg above the palpated level for auscultatory determination. Cuff should be deflated at a rate of 2 mm Hg per second. SBP is when the first Korotkoff sound is heard, and DBP is when the Korotkoff sound disappears. 7. Clinicians should provide the patient his or her BP numbers and BP goal verbally and in writing.

Question 32

JNC8 -Recommendation 9 Grade E (expert opinion)

Answer 32

Recommendation 9: The main objective of HTN treatment is to attain and maintain the BP goal. If the BP goal is not reached within a month of treatment, increase the dose of the initial drug or add a second drug from 1 of the classes in recommendation 6 (thiazide-type diuretic, CCBs, ACEIs, or ARBs). The clinician should continue to assess BP and adjust the treatment regimen until goal BP is reached. If the BP goal cannot be reached with 2 drugs, add and titrate a third drug from the list provided. Do not use an ACEI and an ARB together in the same patient. If the BP goal cannot be reached using only the drugs in recommendation 6 because of a contraindication or the need to use more than 3 drugs to reach the BP goal, antihypertensive drugs from other classes can be used. Referral to a hypertension specialist may be indicated for patients in whom the BP goal cannot be attained using the previously described strategy or for the management of complicated patients for whom additional clinical consultation is needed.

Question 42

Strategies in managing HTN with therapy

Answer 42

Strategy A is to start with 1 drug and then titrate to the recommended maximum dose before adding a second drug. Strategy B is to start with 1 drug and then add a second drug before achieving the maximum dose of the first drug. This is followed by titration of both drugs to their maximum recommended dose. If the BP goal is not achieved with the 2-drug regimen, a third drug is added and titrated to its maximum dose. Strategy C is to begin with a 2-drug regimen at the same time, either 2 separate pills or as a single-pill combination.

Question 47

Primary hypertension or essential hypertension.

Answer 47

About 90% of the time, hypertension happens without a clearly identifiable underlying reason,

Question 48

Risk factor for Primary HTN

Answer 48

obesity, salt heavy diets, sedentary lifestyles, old age,.

Question 49

Secundary HTN

Answer 49

About 10% of the time, there is a specific underlying condition that can be found which is the cause of hypertension. For example, anything that limits the blood flow to the kidneys can cause hypertension, for example atherosclerosis, vasculitis, or aortic dissections affecting renal blood flow. This is because the kidneys play an important role in blood pressure regulation. When not enough blood is flowing to the kidneys, the kidney secretes the hormone renin which ultimately helps the kidneys retain more water. That water contributes to filling the arteries and making them more full which leads to higher pressures. Other diseases can cause secondary hypertension as well. Actually quite a few. Fibromuscular dysplasia which affects young women can cause the walls of the large- and medium-sized arteries to thicken. If it involves the renal artery, and limits blood flowing to the kidneys, it triggers more renin. Another one is a tumor that produces excess aldosterone, and like renin, excess aldosterone leads to fluid retention.
