Term
Primary Hypertension Patho
Give this one a go later!
nonmodifiable: >50 years, men (higher risk), family hx of cardiac diseases
modifiable: smoking, htn, diabetes, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), obesity
normal: <120/80
elevated: 120-129/<80
stage 1: 130-139/80-89
stage 2: >140/90
likely multi-factorial (genetics, environment); strong associations with obesity,
high salt intake, physical inactivity; may develop resistance to vasodilation and
, increased sympathetic activity
acute: rapid progression
chronic: slow progression

lifestyle changes, compression therapy, medications (diuretics, venoactive
drugs to improve vein tone), surgical procedures (vein ablation, sclerotherapy,
vein stripping to remove damaged veins or close damaged veins)
low RBC- anemia
low platelets- bleeding tendencies
(bone marrow suppression: anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia)
(cell accumulation: lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, infection prone- fever and
infections)
ABI, doppler ultrasound, angiography
people that live in high altitudes, have sleep apnea or heart disease adapt to lower
oxygen tension in the air by increasing RBCs to compensate for decreased oxygen
carrying capacity
