less than 120/ less than 80
elevated blood pressure
120-128/ less than 80
high blood pressure - hypertension stage 1
130-139/ 80-89
high blood pressure - hypertension stage 2
140 or higher / 90 or higher
hypertensive crisis
higher than 180/ higher than 120
hypertensive urgency

asymptomatic
hypertensive emergency
higher than 180/ higher than 120 with signs and symptoms of organ damage
chest pain, organ - brain, heart, kidney
errors in BP
full bladder
talking
too small cuff
cuff over clothes
arm not at heart level
legs crossed
how much inaccuracy for full bladder
adds 10mmHg
how much inaccuracy for talking
adds 10mmHg
how much inaccuracy for too small cuff
2-10mmHg
how much inaccuracy for cuff over clothing
5-50mmHg
how much inaccuracy for arm not at heart
add 10mmHg
how much inaccuracy for legs crossed
add 2-8mmHg
calculating MAP (mean arterial pressure)
normal 70-110mmHg
((2x diastolic) + systolic)/ 3
MAP
average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle
better indicator of perfusion to vital organs than SBP

link between stroke and dementia
have stroke 2-8x more likely to develop dementia
at risk for stroke may develop cognitive impairments such as BLOOD VESSELS DETERIORATE increase risk of later developing age related COGNITIVE DECLINE and DEMENTIA

2009 USPSTF Recommendations
women, age 50-74 recommend biennial screening
high risk populations of breast cancer
more white women diagnosed
more black women die
65 = median age at diagnosis
68 = median age at death
what are dense breasts
amount of fibrous & glandular tissue vs amount of fatty tissue in the breast - based on mammogram finding not size or appearance
what to do if you have dense breasts
breast ultrasound
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
who is more likely to have dense breast?
can change over time
younger
pregnant/breast-feeding
taking hormone replacement therapy
lower body weight
why is breast density important?
higher chance of getting breast cancer
more dense, higher risk
NOT more likely to die from breast cancer
breast cancer hormone receptors
estrogen
progesterone
HER-2
