HTN: Exam 1 Flashcards
The “idea” BP
119/79
CPG NEW BP Guidelines
see pics
**CAN BE ONE OR THE OTHER
SBP OR DBP
doesn’t need to be both #s to be in that category!!!

NORMAL BP
-
SBP
- <120
-
DBP
- <80
- Ideal== 119/79
ELEVATED BP
used to be “Pre-HTN”
SBP== 120-129
OR
DBP== <80
Hypertension
Stage 1
SBP== 130-139
OR
DBP== 80-89
HTN
Stage 2
SBP== >/= 140
OR
DBP== >/= 90
NOTE:
** indiv’s w/ SBP and DBP in 2 categories should be designated to _______
HIGHER BP category
BP======
controlled by what 2 mechs?
BP= CO(HR*SV) * TPR
controlled by:
1. ANS
2. Hormonal system (Renin-angio system)
Types of BP
Primary
essential or idiopathic
from Risk factors–90% of people
ex. sedentary, stress, genetics
Types of BP
Secondary
caused by SOMETHING ELSE IN SYSTEM
ex. kidney dis.,
hard to treat
Types of BP:
Labile
fluctuating BP
hormonal affects
Types of BP
Anxiety induced HTN
“white coat HTN
exactly what it sounds like
HTN:
The Sequela
explain
-
Initially
-
INC SNS stim from risk factors cause:
- periph vasoconstrict
- inc blood plasma vol
- sustained + inotrope and/or + chronotropic effect
- High Na+ diet==> inc plasma volume
- lack of ex, inact, sedent,
- decondition heart==> non-optimal SV w/ reflexive + chrono effect
- obesity ==> inc press in abd area/LE/UE
- inc’s TPR
- sleep deprivation
- activates SNS
- chronotropic effect==INC HR/BP
- activates SNS
-
INC SNS stim from risk factors cause:
**ALL of this produces overload in L. VENT, aorta, and periph arteries=====> EARLY HTN
Sustained HTN
DECd compliance/distensibility of aa’s:
elastic tissue of aa’s and arterioles are replaced by fibrous collagen tissue =====
no recoil
prolonged or irreversible HTN
sustained HTN
diminished SV is detected by KIDNEYS—->
activates RAS causing vasoconstriction and Na+/H2O retention=====
prolonged or irrev. HTN
Sustained HTN
DEC compliance of CA’s leads to DEC O2 supply to myocardium ======
prolonged or irrev. HTN
sustained HTN
L. vent working against elevated HTN for prolonged pds will become HYPERTROPHIED or rigid or less kinetic
this cannot be reduced =====
prolonged or irrev. HTN
Sx’s HTN
early Tx the better!!!!
- asymptomatic
- or just used to sx’s
- HA
- vertigo
- flushed face
- epistaxis
- nausea, dry heave
- blurred vision
- nocturnal urinary freq
- Nocturia
- dyspnea
- angina
Basic med. tx HTN
Goal (3)
- normalize BP BOTH @ rest and BP resp during exertion
-
PREVENT prolonged HTN patho
- LVH, art stenosis, CVA
- IMPROVE CA O2 supply
*LIFE-STYLE CHANGES!!!
MED TX HTN
meds
beta blocks
alpha blocks
ACE inhibitors
Ca+ channel blocks
Diuretics
HTN Tx
Category + Tx
-
Pre-HTN
- lifestyle mod
-
stage 1 HTN
- diuretics
- maybe ACE inhibitors
-
Stage 2 HTN
-
combo of 2+ meds or cocktail
-
ALWAYS INCLUDES BETA BLOCKER
-
**blunted HR resp***
- use borg!!!
-
**blunted HR resp***
-
ALWAYS INCLUDES BETA BLOCKER
-
combo of 2+ meds or cocktail
Systemic effects HTN
Brain
cerebral aneurysm
Hemorrhagic CVA
Systemic effects HTN
Eyes
Retinopathy—-arterioloar damage
Systemic effects HTN
Atherosclerosis
Systemic effects HTN
Heart
CHF
atherosclerosis
angina
MI
systemic effects HTN
Kidneys
Nephrosclerosis (hardened tubules)
CRF
systemic effects HTN
BP
persistent elevation
Prognosis of HTN
HTN===sig. risk factor for dev. of CAD, stroke, CHF and renal failure
precedes heart failure in 90% of all cases and INCing in all other assoc’d cond’s
Exercise is like a DRUG for HTN
reduces systolic AND diastolic BP @ rest
DOSE dependent (more==better)
may be able to reverse early HTN
may be able to AVOID, DISCONT, DEC dosage of med mgmt in prolonged HTN
High % of pts referred to PT will have ______
dx or undx’d HTN
-
Monitor during tx sessions:
- any pt over 45
- any pt w/ risk factors or Dx
- CVA, DM, CAD, aortic aneurysm, PAD, obesity, CRF, alcoholism, chronic pain syndrome
3 categories to follow when to take vitals
- Healthy indiv’s
- during eval
- pts w/ risk factors
- EVERY session pre/post aerobic
- Pts w/ Dx HTN
- keep cuff on
- monitor constantly!!!
Exercise Capacity is pts w/ prolonged HTN is REDUCED 15-30%
why?
- Sub-opt SV
- SV inc’s faster w/ ex
- HIGHER RHR
- LOWER peak HR
- diminished CO
Prescribe accordingly!!!!
Indiv’s medicated for HTN may have altered ___________ if taking Beta blocker
altered resp to EX
Do a warmup***
use RPE***
ASCM Guidelines:
Ex testing is CONTRAINDICATED IF:
BP >200/110
ASCM GUIDELINES:
Discontinue Ex testing if:
BP >220/110 in indivs w/ known CV dx
BP >250/115 in healthy indivs
Anytime there is a DROP in SBP
Anytime there is an ELEVATION or DROP in DBP >/= 10
Pulm AA HTN== MAP > 25
3 types
- Idiopathic Pulm HTN
- Secondary Pulm HTN
- Chronic thromboembolic pulm HTN (CTEPH) —> dev clots over time==HTN
