Age- Related Considerations (HTN) - loss of tissue elasticity
- increased collagen content and stiffness of the
myocardium
- increased peripheral vascular resistance
- decreased B-adrenergic receptor sensitivity
- blunting of baroreceptor reflexes
- decreased kidney function
- decreased renin response to sodium and water
depletion
What is a hypertensive crisis? - severe abrupt increases in DBP (defined as >120-
130 mmHg)
- rate of increase in BP is more important than the
absolute value
- often occurs in patients with a hisotry of HTN who
have failed to adhere to their medication regimen
or who have been under medicated
(180/120)
Hypertensive Crisis: Clinical - encephaopathy, cerebral hemorrhage
Manifestations - acute renal failure
- MI
- acute left ventricular failure with pulmonary
edema
- dissecting aortic aneurysm
Management of Hypertensive Crisis - IV
- Monitor cardiac/renal function
- ongoing regular assessment
- neurological checks
- determine cause
- education
