Complications of HTN - correct anwers"retinopathy, coronary artery disease, MI, CHF, PVD,
nephropathy, TIA/CVA","Don't forget what it does to the vascular system."
HTN markers - correct anwerswidening pulse pressure, Na sensitive, LV hypertropy, increase
CVP, renal-30-200 microalbumin, GFR <60-90, CV-decrease cognition, dementia, vision loss
Pulse Pressure (PP) - correct anwerssystolic BP - diastolic BP force generated w each beat;
120/80= PP 40; normal 40-60; >60 = arterial stiffness
end organ damage - correct anwersVascular damage in heart- HF/ ACS/aortic
dissection/aneuysm, kidney, retina, or brain-enccphalopathy, pulmonary edema, pre
eclampsia
Systemic Atrial Blood Pressure - correct anwersCO, PVR, Baroreceptors, fluid volume, HTN-
>GFR > diuresis > RAAS, Low BP - stimulates RAAS
HTN - correct anwers- Normal BP = 120/80
- PreHTN BP = 120-139/80-89
- HTN = >140/>90; HTN emergency >180/120
HTN - correct anwersx 3 BP readings averaged= Dx of HTN
HTN Treatment Guidelines - correct anwersSBP key focus/ wide PP; 60yrs old tx > 150; <60 yrs
140/90 w DM/ CKD
HTN treatment goals - correct anwersnon-black start w ace/arbs, tzd, ccb; black start w ccb,
tzd; if CKD start w ace/ arb
HTN causes - correct anwers-essential HTN - 95% (unknown)
-secondary HTN: 5-10% MCC*renal artery stenosis
--birthcontrol pills MCC* young women
--cushings, pheo, hyperthyroid, acromegaly, OCP, estrogen, TCAs, NSAIDs, coarc aorta,
stimulants, sleep apnea
BP assessment - correct anwersrest, cuff size, ?white coat syndrome, ? patterns, promote self
monitoring
DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) - correct anwersa tool to help individuals
lower sodium <1500mg intake,
high fiber, low fat, low red meat, low sweets; Wt loss is most effective Lifestyle change
