Module 10 : Systemic Hypertension Flashcards
what is a normal BP
< 120/80
what must happen to diagnose HTN
- high BP in 2 separate readings of >140/90
what is classified as pre hypertension
130-139 / 85-89
what is stage 1 HTN
140-159 / 90-99
what is stage 2 HTN
> 160 / 100
what is isolated HTN
> /= 140 and < 90
what are the 2 types of hypertension
- essential HTN (primary) = multifactoral
- secondary HTN
what are the causes essential/primary HTN
- hereditary
- metabolic causes
+ metabolic syndrome
+ obesity
+ diabetes mellitus/ insulin resistance
+ sedentary lifestyle
+ mental stress
what are the causes of secondary HTN
- renal disease \+ renovascular disease \+ chronic renal disease - endocrine/hormonal \+ increased cathecolamines \+ primary aldosteronism \+ adrenal hyperplasia \+ increased cortisol - pituitary/hypothalmic = cushings - thyroid = hyperthyroidism - CNS = increased sympathetic tone - aortic coarctation
what are 7 risk factors for getting essential hypertension
- older age
- ethnicity
- male
- obesity
- dyslipidemia
- diabetes mellitus
- insulin resistance
what are 6 lifestyle factors that increase risk of essential hypertension
- stress
- excessive sodium intake
- excessive alcohol intake
- inadequate calcium and potassium intake
- lack of physical activity
- smoking
what is the mean pressure
- average pressure over the cardiac cycle
what length of the cardiac cycle should systole and diastole occupy normally
- systole = 1/3
- diastole = 2/3
in a tachycardic heart what length of the cardiac cycle does systole occupy
> 1/3
in a bradycardic heart what length of the cardiac cycle does systole occupy
< 1/3
how do you calculate mean arterial pressure MAP with systolic and diastolic pressure
MAP = [ ( 2 x diastolic ) + systolic ] / 3
how do you calculate pulse pressure
pulse pressure = SBP - DBP
what is the pulse pressure
difference between SBP and DBP
what would happen to the pulse pressure with severe AO regurge
- pulse pressure increases
- starlings increases force of contraction so SBP increases but DBP decreases
how do you calculate MAP with cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance
- MAP = CO x SVR
what change to cardiac output will increase average BP
- any factor that increases CO \+ obesity \+ pregnancy \+ regurgitation \+ excessive salt intake
what changes to systemic vascular resistance will increases average BP
- any factor that increases SVR \+ stress \+ caffeine \+ nicotine \+ alcohol \+ inadequate potassium or calcium \+ lack of activity \+ smoking
what occurs the heart with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
- compensatory hyperdynamic contraction
- hypertensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
what is the main mechanism of HRpEF
diastolic dysfunction
what are the signs of diastolic dysfunction
- dyspnea
- imparted diastolic filling
- LA overload leads to pulmonary venous congestion which leads to RV elevated pressure»_space; RV enlargement»_space; increasing TR
what is the number one way to change peripheral resistance
vessel diameter
what two techniques can cause vasodilation in high resistance vascular bed
- exercise
- relaxation
does a compliant vessel have a higher or lower pulse pressure
lower
BP = 110/75
