DefinitionChronic medical condition in which the blood
pressure of the arteries is persistently elevated.
Arterial hypertension example:
Systolic blood pressure(SBP)= 158mmHgDiastolic blood pressure(DBP)=99mmHg
While normal blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg
![Page 6: Hypertension By Alexandre Sloukgi](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1adb7f8b9ab0599749a3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Signs and symptoms
Headaches, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus(buzzing or hissing of the ears), fainting episodes.
Hypertensive crisis: severe elevated blood pressure(180/110) is categorized as hypertensive emergency or urgency according to presence or absence of end organ damage.

Pathophysiology1. Renin-angiotensin system : Ang II acts on
musculature of arteries and raises resistance=> blood pressure.
2. Endothelial dysfunction3. Autonomic nervous system: regulating
peripheral vasculature and kidney function. Excessive activity of sympathetic nervous system increases blood pressure=> hypertension

Risk factors Age Heredity Gender(male) Obesity
Smoking High cholesterol Diabetes Physical inactivity

EtiologyPrimary hypertension :
BP rises with aging mostly.
Environmental factors that influence :Stress, depression...
Events in early life can influence as well :low birth weight, maternal smoking.

Secondary hypertension :results from identifiable cause :
Kidney disease (most common)
Endocrine conditions such as :hyper/hypothyroidism, hyperaldosteronism,
hyperparathyroidism
Other causes: illegal drugs, pregnancy, obesity, sleep apnea, narrowing of aorta

Consequences of hypertension
End organ damage

Prevention Maintain normal body weight Reduce dietary sodium(<6g of NaCl/day) Engage in physical activities(>30 mins/day) Limit alcohol consumption (2-3 units/day =>
20-30 mL of pure alcohol /day ) Consume a diet rich in fruit and vegetables (at
least 5 portions a day)

Treatment
Dietary program for patients: limiting wine, meat, pastries, low-energy diet
Antihypertensive agents : calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers and renin inhibitors, beta blockers, diuretics.
