◉ most important risk factor for HTN.
Answer: age
◉ age 60-69.
Answer: 50% have HTN
◉ over age 70.
Answer: 75% have HTN
◉ high systolic BP and old age.
Answer: aorta stiffens with age
◉ comorbidities of HTN.
Answer: obesity
sleep apnea
intrinsic renal disease
◉ secondary HTN.
,Answer: 5% of cases
CKD
renal artery stenosis
pheochromocytoma
sleep apnea
obesity
excessive aldosterone and cortisol secretion
◉ HTN pathophysiology.
Answer: sodium retention leads to increased fluid retention,
increased intravascular volumes, increased CO, and consequently
raised BP
◉ peripheral vascular resistance.
Answer: The force exerted against the blood flow and is determined
by the diameter of the vessel. The lower the vascular resistance the
less force is needed to eject the blood out of the heart during systole.
◉ how does increased PVR happen.
Answer: structural changes in vascular wall - remodeling of vessel
walls and endothelial dysfunction
◉ endothelium dependent vasodilation is impaired in ____ patients.
,Answer: hypertensive
◉ increased sympathetic tone in essential HTN.
Answer: resetting of peripheral and central baroreceptors
◉ elevated BP (one reading).
Answer: greater than 130/80
d/t physiological stress, pain, acute illness, physiologic
derangements
◉ hypertension.
Answer: three consecutive readings of 130/80+ on different days
◉ normal BP.
Answer: Systolic <120
Diastolic <80
◉ Stage 1 HTN.
Answer: 130-139/80-89
◉ Stage 2 HTN.
Answer: >=140 or >=90
, ◉ oversized BP cuff causes.
Answer: The low blood pressure reading
◉ undersized BP cuff causes.
Answer: high BP reading
◉ the center of the BP cuff should be at _____ level.
Answer: heart
◉ width of the bladder cuff should equal _____% of arm
circumference.
Answer: 40
◉ length of the cuff bladder should be enough to encircle ____% of
the arm circumference.
Answer: 80
◉ use arm with _____ reading if different.
Answer: higher
◉ Ambulatory BP monitoring.
