Q

know the distribution of pressure within the systemic circulation (e.g. from greatest to least pressure in mmHg)

A

the greatest pressure in the aorta, then it goes to the arteries then arterioles then the capillaries (pressure is greater on arteriole side of capillaries and gets lower on venule side). Then it goes to the venules, to the muscular veins then the central veins and finally the right atrium where the pressure is now 0mmHg

17
Q

list the short term regulation of BP

A
  • activation of the systemic nervous system to produce NE & epinephrine
  • activation of the vasomotor centre by activation of baroreceptors which activates alpha and beta receptors
18
Q

what receptors are found in smooth muscle of arterioles and are post synaptic that lead to vasoconstriction

A

alpha 1

19
Q

what receptors are pre synaptic

A

alpha 2

20
Q

what receptors are found in vascular smooth muscle that lead to vasodilation and bronchodilation when activated

A

beta 2

21
Q

what receptors are found in the heart and increase muscle contraction when activated

A

beta 1

22
Q

are alpha or beta receptors epinephrine mediated

A

beta

23
Q

are alpha or beta receptors norepinephrine mediated

A

alpha

24
Q

liat examples of long term regulation of systemic BP

A
  • increase in ECF leads to increase in CO and SVR which increases BP
  • increase in serum sodium levels increases osmolality which increases ADH secretion
  • angiotensin II increases SVR which increases BP
  • ANP causes increase secretion of H2O and Na from an increase in GFR
  • RAAS
25
Q

know how the RAAS is an important regulator of BP

A

due to its vasoconstrictive properties of angiotensin II and its Na retaining properties of aldosterone.
renin secretes angiotensinogen which leads to inactive angiotensin I. ACE converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and it produces aldosterone. ACE also inactivates the vasodilator bradykinin

26
Q

what is a normal systolic and diastolic BP

A

systolic <120 diastolic <80

27
Q

what is an elevated systolic and diastolic BP

A

systolic 120-129 diastolic <80

28
Q

what systolic and diastolic BP’s are associated with stage I hypertension

A

systolic 130-139 diastolic 80-89

29
Q

what systolic and diastolic BP’s are associated with stage II hypertension

A

systolic greater than or equal to 140-149 diastolic >90

30
Q

_____ occurs when you have abnormally high BP that’s not the result of a medical condition

A

primary/essential hypertension

31
Q

what are some non modifiable factors for primary hypertension

A

-family history/genetics
-age
-gender

32
Q

what are some modifiable risk factors for primary hypertension

A

-sedentary lifestyle
-metabolic disorders
-dietary factos
-obesity

33
Q

what are some outcomes of primary hypertension

A
  • increased myocardial work leads to heart failure
  • gomerlular damage leads to kidney failure
  • affects microcirculation in eyes
  • increased pressure in cerebral vasculature leads to hemorrhage
34
Q

when does atherosclerosis start to occur

A

after first decade of life

35
Q

know the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis

A
  • after vascular injury, monocytes bind to epithelium and become activated microphages
  • macrophages take up oxidized LDL becoming foam cells
    -T cells release cytokines which also activate macrophages
  • cytokines cause smooth muscle cells to proliferate. under growth factors the smooth muscle cells then move to the subendothelial space where they produce collagen and take up LDL, adding to the production of foam cells
36
Q

what are some treatment interventions for primary hypertension

A
  • dietary changes/lifestyle modifications
  • drug therapy
37
Q

_______ is hypertension attributed to an indentifiable pathology or condition. maybe related to pregnancy, obesity, endocrine disorders, etc

A

secondary hypertension

38
Q

what are some conditions that may cause hypertension

A
  • sleep apnea
  • primary renal disease
  • glomerulonephritis
    -polycystic kidney disease
  • renal artery stenosis
  • hyperthyroidism
  • cushing disease
  • hypertensive nephrosclerosis
39
Q

what are some drugs/other substances that may cause hypertension

A
  • NSAIDS
  • oral contraceptives
  • excessive alcohol
  • salt
  • stimulants (cocaine)
  • SSRIs
  • corticosteroids
40
Q

______ is a birth defect in which part of the aorta is narrower than usual. occurs distal to subclavian artery. BP is high in upper body and lower in the legs

A

coarction of aorta

41
Q

know what occurs in salt mediated hypertension

A
  • G proteins (G12-13) activates myosin light chain kinase
  • Rho/Rho kinase = inhibited myosin light chain phosphorylase
  • ouabain release = decrease in Na+K+ ATPase = increase in intracellular Ca2+ = increase in smooth muscle tone = vasoconstriction
42
Q

how should secondary hypertension be treated

A

treat the disease causing the hypertension first!
for e.g. hyperthyroidism - treat thyroid first
