, Answer>
Blockage on the left side of the heart backs up and causes lung symptoms
· Blockage on the right side of the heart backs up and causes body symptoms (peripheral
edema)

Answer>
Defined as 140/90 Treatment algorithm:
Less than 60 years old - 140/90
> 60 years old - Defined as 150/90 (more leniency b/c we do not want to drop their BP too low)
4. What hypertension medication should someone with DM and/or CKD be on

cough, angioedema
,8. What HTN medication is contraindicated if an ACE inhibitor caused an- gioedema
Answer> ARB
9. What HTN medication should a heart failure pt NEVER be on
