33
Q

A new study in JAMA Cardiology (Hongwell, J., Kim, A. Ebinger, J. et al. 2020) found that sex differences in

A

blood pressure trajectories begin early and persist with aging.

A

BP, including MAP, measures that began as early as in their 30’s and continued throughout their life.

36
Q

Limit sodium intake - and what about high risk groups?

<2300 mg/day
< 1500 mg/day for high-risk groups, diabetes, kidney disease, age 50+, HTN

37
Q

effects of aging on BP

A

↑ arteriosclerosis/
atherosclerosis
↓ elasticity
↑ collagen
↑ peripheral vascular resistance (PVR)
↓ adrenergic receptor sensitivity
↓baroreceptor reflexes
↓renal function (after age 40)
↓ metabolism

38
Q

HTN Referred to as the

A

“silent killer” because patients are frequently asymptomatic until target organ disease occurs

39
Q

Symptoms are often secondary to (target first, symptoms last)

A

to target organ disease and can include
Fatigue, reduced activity tolerance
Dizziness
Palpitations, angina
Dyspnea

40
Q

how to assess HTN? (just exam and labs)

Medical history
Physical examination
Routine labs

41
Q

Fundoscopic exam for (the eye is fund)

A

retinal changes

42
Q

BMI calculation to

A

identify risk factor

43
Q

Auscultation for (auscultation for CAF is brutal)

A

carotid, abdominal and femoral bruits

44
Q

Palpation of

A

thyroid gland

45
Q

Through exam of

A

heart and lungs
Abdominal exam for enlarged kidneys, masses and aortic pulsation

46
Q

Palpation of lower extremities for

A

edema and pulses
Neurological assessment

47
Q

routine labs (HTN gets EVERY lab)

A

kidneys, urinalysis, BUN creatinine, sodium, K, Ca, TSH, glucose, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, hematocrit, ECG, CXR, liver function tests, might have left ventricular hypertrophy.

48
Q

assessment for HTN

A

Assess/ monitor for symptoms of hypertension
( headaches, dizziness and visual changes)
Intake and output, daily weights, and renal studies to assess for fluid volume excess, also central venous pressure, etc.
Drug therapy adherence
Antihypertensive drug therapy effects
( orthostatic hypotension, sexual dysfunction, etc.)

49

Causes acute target organ damage

50
Q

management of hypertensive crisis

A

Treatment based on symptoms
Antihypertensive IV drug therapy
Titrate drug
Do not lower BP > 25% per hour
Frequent neurological assessments
Monitor cardiac, pulmonary, renal function
Identify cause
If patient does not have any target organ damage manage with oral antihypertensives after crisis
Educate
