Question:
Medications
Answer:
1. Statins- Lower LDL levels ( Production)
2. Bile acid sequestrants- Lowers LDL levels
3. Niacin- Takes overall Cholesterol and shifts distribution towards HDL
4. Fibric acids-Decreases high triglyceride & raise HDL levels5. Cholesterol
absorption inhibitors Lowers LDL
,Question:
Hypertension
Answer:
High Blood Pressure (HBP)- typically develops over time
The force of blood against the artery walls is high B.P. is determined by the
amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow
in your arteries.
(+) Blood the heart pumps --> narrower the arteries, the ^ blood pressure.
Question:
Types of Blood Pressure
Answer:
If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher, but below 140/90, it is
called: Pre-hypertension
High blood pressure: (hypertension) is when your blood pressure is 140/90
mmHg or above most of the time.
Primary hypertension: (Stage 1) Systolic pressure from 140 to 159 mm Hg or a
diastolic pressure from 90 to 99mm Hg.
Secondary hypertension: (Stage 2) More severe hypertension, systolic
pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 100 mm Hg or
higher.
,Question:
Systolic Pressure
Answer:
Blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the ventricles.
The first # (Systolic) measures pressure in the arteries when the heart beats
"max pressure"
Question:
Diastolic Pressure
Answer:
The second # (Diastolic) measures the pressure in the arteries between beats
"minimum pressure not actively contracting"
Question:
Signs and symptoms of hypertension
Answer:
Rarely exhibit any signs and/or symptoms
Can have HPB for years, damaging blood vessels and the heart Primary HBP
(develops over time)Occasional dizziness, light headedness, dull headache, or
nose bleeds B.P. should be taken at routine Dr. appts starting at age 3
, Question:
Isolated systolic hypertension
Answer:
a condition most commonly seen in the older adult in which the systolic
pressure is greater than 140 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is within
normal limits (less than 90 mm Hg)
Question:
Risk factors for hypertension
Answer:
Men (45+) & women (65+)African Americans(stroke, heart attack, and kidney
failure)
Obesity
Stress (temporary HBP)
Chronic Drinkers
Consuming too much Na
Family history of HBP
Diabetic (60% of people who have diabetes have HBP)
Smokers
Sedentary Individuals
