Hypertension Flashcards
Nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory narrowing of medium-sized arteries in young women in childbearing age
Fibromuscular dysplasia
Pathological types of fibromuscular dysplasia
Intimal
Medial
Adventitial
Fibromuscular dysplasia type categorized by collagenized tunica media alternated with regions of thinned media
Medial type
Angiography findings in fibromuscular dysplasia
Beading pattern
Factors that contribute to idiopathic HTN
Reduced renal sodium excretion
Obesity
Stress
Smoking
Increased salt intake
Lack of physical exercise
Adrenal causes of secondary HTN
Cushing syndrome
Pheochromocytoma
Neuroblastoma
11-Hydroxylase deficiency
Primary aldosteronism (Conn syndrome)
Aortic causes of secondary HTN
Post-ductal coarctation
Decreased elasticity in older adults
CNS cause of secondary HTN
Intracranial hypertension
Drugs that cause secondary hypertension
OCP
Cocaine
Parathyroid cause of secondary HTN
Primary hyperparathyroidism
Cause of preeclampsia in pregnancy
Increased production of angiotensin II
Values of malignant HTN
> 200/120
Complications of malignant HTN
Renal failure
Retinal hemorrhages and exudates, with or without papilledema
Cause of HTN with low renin, high aldosterone, high serum Na, low serum K, and an alkaline pH
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Causes of HTN with high renin, high aldosterone, high Na, low K, and alkaline pH
Renal ischemia
Decreased intravascular volume
Pheochromocytoma
Secondary hyperaldosteronism
