16
Q

Combination for hypertension post stroke or HF

A

ACE/ARB + diuretic

17
Q

Combination post MI or HF

A

ACE/ARB + Beta blocker

18
Q

Combinations to avoid

A

ACE + ARB —> renal impairment

Verapamil + beta blocker —> risk of heart block

19
Q

What is more dangerous, high systolic or high diastolic

A

High systolic - indicates left ventricular hypertrophy esp if patient >50 years old

20
Q

End organ damage in HT

A
Heart - ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure
CNS - TIA, stroke
Kidney- hypertensive nephropathy
Eyes - hypertensive retinopathy
Vessels - athrosclorosis
21
Q

Prehypertensive range

A

120-139/80-89

22
Q

Risk management in prehypertensive range

A
Change in lifestyle
Physical activity increase
smoking avoidance
hyperlipidemia mangement
stress mangement
weight mangement
salt reduction 
more fruits and veggies
relax
23
Q

Types of HT

A
  1. Essential/Idiopathic HT (Primary)

2. Secondary HT

24
Q

What determines the systolic BP (CO or TRP)

A

cardiac output

25
Q

BP=

A

CO x TRP

26
Q

Systolic BP relation to heart

A

ventricular squeeze in presence of open valves = systolic BP, because no resistance, the BP can be read in arteries

27
Q

Diastolic BP relation to the heart

A

no relationship, because valve closed. related to TRP and the amount of blood left

28
Q

Changes in systolic indicate

A

changes in CO

29
Q

Changes in diastolic indicate

A

changes in TRP or vessel dilation/contriction

30
Q

What influences CO

A
  1. Blood volume

2. Cardiac factors

31
Q

What influences BV

A

Na intake
mineralocorticoid like aldosterone
atriopeptides ANP = vasodilation

32
Q

What cardiac factors influence CO

A

Heart rate
contractility
anxiety (increases symp = increase HR and contractility)

33
Q

What influences TRP

A

Humoral factors - dilators

Neural factors

34
Q

What causes the release of Renin

A

Reduced renal perfusion can be due to reduced BP or due to stenosis
Overall - reduced Na in macular densa in DCT (because slowly flowing waste = increases Na retention)

35
Q

Where is Renin released from

A

Juxtaglomerulo apparatus, which is modified afferent from arterioles and macular densa from DCT

36
Q

What happens to Renin

A

converted to angiotensin 1 by angiotensinogen (from the liver)

37
Q

What happens to Angiotensin I

A

converted to angiotensin 2 by ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) from the lungs

38
Q

What are the effects of Angiotensin II

A

Thirst - hypothalamus
Vasoconstrictor - Arterial = increase TRP, venous increases CO
Aldosterone release - from zonaglomulosa –> acts on principle cell to increase H2O and Na rentention thus increasing CO
