Hypertension

Learning Outcome

Students will gain an understanding of hypertension, its disease process and management, and will apply that understanding to planned patient care.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module students will• Compare and Contrast prehypertension, stage

I and stage II parameters according to JNC 7 Guidelines

• Differential between essential and secondary hypertension

• Describe effects of uncontrolled hypertension on body organs

Learning Objectives

• Name a minimum of four causes of secondary hypertension

• Define the term "silent killer“• Create a nursing care plan for a hypertensive

patient using the nursing process and following the provided rubric

Outline

• JNC guidelines for prehypertension and stage I & II Hypertension

• Types of hypertension• Risk factors• Organ damage• Treatment

Introduction

Introduction

• Nearly 60 million Americans, or 1 in 4 adults, have high blood pressure

• High blood pressure contributes to the deaths of almost 30 individuals every hour of every day

• An additional 45 million adults, or 22% of the population, have prehypertension

• Many individuals don’t even know they have hypertension

the JNC 7 report. JAMA. 2003;289:2560-72.

Manifestations of Hypertension

• Usually no symptoms other than elevated blood pressure

• Symptoms are related to organ damage and are seen late and are very serious

Parameters According to JNC 7

• Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7)

Normal <120 and <80

Stage 2 hypertension >160 or >100

What is High Blood Pressure? JNC 7 Guidelines for Patients Age ≥18 Years

JNC 7 Parameters

Key: SBP = systolic blood pressure DBP = diastolic blood pressure

Types of Hypertension• Essential 90% - 95%

– Cause is unknown• Secondary 5% - 10%

– High blood pressure that is caused by another medical condition or medication

Secondary Hypertension Causes

• Chronic kidney disease• Disorders of the adrenal gland

(pheochromocytoma or Cushing syndrome)• Pregnancy (preeclampsia)• Medications such as birth control pills, diet pills,

some cold medications, and migraine medications• Narrowed artery that supplies blood to the kidney

(renal artery stenosis)• Hyperparathyroidism

Risk Factors

• Factors that cannot be changed–Family history of high blood pressure–Family history of premature CVD–Diabetes–Race (African American)

Lifestyle Risk Factors

• Weight (body mass index > 30 kg/m2)• Stress• Sedentary lifestyle• Diet• Smoking• Alcohol (more than one drink per day for women

and more than two drinks per day for men)• Birth control pills

Blood Pressure >140/90 mm Hg Damages Target Organs

CHD, coronary heart disease.

HBP

Retinopathy

Peripheral vascular disease Renal failure

LVH, CHD, HFHemorrhage,stroke, dementia

Organ Damage

• Vascular Effects– Artery damage and narrowing– Aneurysm

• Cardiac Effects– Coronary artery disease– Enlarged left ventricle– Heart failure

• Risk of IHD death increases with increasing age

• Risk of IHD death increases with increasing BP in each decade of life

• Increased risk begins at systolic BP >120 mmHg

• Trend begins at 40 years old
