Hypotension, Thrombosis, Embolism & Infarction Flashcards
what is systole
left vent cotract
what is diastole
left vent relax
BP is —-
CO x peripheral ritnce
Co consists of
heart rate
contractility
Blood vol
peripheral resist consist of
constrictor (angiotensin 2)
dilators ( Nitric oxide)
what is hypertension
disorder in which level od sustained arterial pressure i higher than expected for age, sex and race
high bp =
consistently >140/90 mmHg
when does BP inc
on standing on exercise and on expo to cold and emothion
indiv with larger than normal pressure rise in response to stimuli have inc risk of
permanent hypertension - labile hypertension
prevalence of hypertension UK
20%
what are the classficiatons of hyeprtension
primary
secondary
benign
malignant
95% cases hyperT =
no detectable cause
primary
essential
what’s primary hypertension induced by
interplay genetics and enviro factors race stress diet alcohol exercise
what is secondary hyperT
renal disease
endocrine disorders
aortic disease
what is coarctation of aorta
onental narrow of segments aorta
what are some endocrine causes of hyper T
adrenal gland tumour
conns syn - excess dlosterone
cashing syn - excess corticosteriod
prognosis of pt with hyperT dept on
height and rate of pressure rise
bening hyperT
prognosis measured in decades
malignant hyperT
accelerate from fatal within 2 years if untreat
benign causes of hyperT
ischaemic heart disease heart fail stroke acceleration renal disease malignant hyperT
does benign hyperT symptomatic
no
BP rises slowly over the years
what does benign hyperT have an affect
heart and arteries
taggert heart, brain and kidneys
ischeamic heart disease
how does benign hyperT affect CVD
inc pressure hypertrophy arteries and heart
resist in arteries - thicker walls more narrow
longstand hyperT aggravaties atherosclerosis = aneurysm and disscetions
how does benign hyperT affect the heart
left vent hypertrophy - diastole
inc muscle mass and intersistial fibrosis
poor canary artery perfusion
myocardial infart
how does benign hypertension affect the brain
micro aneurysm ina arteries supply baal gala and pons and cerebellum
rupture = hypertensive cerebral haemohhae
cerebral infarction - stroke
