1. define hypertensive -Hypertensive crisis is a blood pressure of systolic 180, and diastolic of 120
crisis? and the two -hypertensive urgency-bp > 180/120 with no evidence of end-organ dam-
types? age
-hypertensive- bp> 180/120 with end-organ damage (neurological, renal,
cardiac)
2. define inadequate ad- an abrupt discontinuation of antihypertensive medication like BB and
herence to rebound clonidine
hypertension?
3. what can happen if -cerebral ischemia
you drop BP too fast? -24 to 48 hours
What is the time goal -15-25% in the first hour and no more than 20-25%
to reduce BP to base-
line? What % reduction
of BP is recommend-
ed?
4. Esmolol (Brevibloc) -selective beta 1 blocker
-rapid onset and short duration
-used with, aortic dissection, periop, HTN, MI but contraindicated with
decompensated heart failure
5. Labetalol (Trandate) -Non-selective B-blocker. Also block release of renin from kidney (less
angiotensin = decreased BP). Decreases HR, decreases vascular resistance,
= decreased BP
-used with ICH, MI HTN encephalopathy, CVA
6. Phentolamine (Regit- -alpha 1 and alpha 2 blocker that reduces peripheral vascular resistance
ine) HTN.
-used in sympathetic crisis like cocaine toxicity or a phenochromocytoma
-Contraindicated in hypersensitivity, MI, and those with CAD.
