Are you hypertensive?
What is hypertension?
ļ‚§ The relationship between BP and CV and
renal events and mortality is continuous,
making the distinction between
normotension and hypertension
somewhat arbitrary.
ļ‚§ In practice, threshold BP values are used
for pragmatic reasons, to simplify the
diagnosis and decisions about treatment.
ļ‚§ Hypertension is defined as the level of BP
at which the benefits of, unequivocally
outweigh the risks of treatment, as
documented by clinical trials.
ļ‚§ Hypertension is a condition in which
arterial pressure is chronically elevated.
ļ‚§ 95% unknown cause- essential
hypertension
ļ‚§ Peripheral resistance vessel tone, renal
dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction,
autonomic tone, neurohumoral factors,
insulin resistance
ļ‚§ Genetic factors plays important role
ļ‚§ High salt intake, obesity, alcohol,
sedentary life, impaired intrauterine
growth contribute
ļ‚§ 5 % of cases- specific disease or
abnormality is found.
Causes of secondary
hypertension
ļ‚§ Obesity
ļ‚§ Pregnancy (pre-eclampsia)
ļ‚§ Renal disease-
 Renal vascular disease
 Parenchymal renal disease, ie. GN, CRF
 Polycystic kidney disease
ļ‚§ Endocrine diseases
 Phaechromocytoma
 Cushing’s syndrome
 Primary hyperaldosteronism
 Hyperparathyroidism
 acromegaly
 Primary hypothyroidism
 Thyrotoxicosis
 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
 Liddle’s syndrome
 11 beta hydroxysteroid deficiency
ļ‚§ Drugs
 OCP, NSAID, corticosteroids,
sympathomimetic agents
ļ‚§ Coarctation of aorta
How to measure BP
ļ‚§ Rest, no smoking, sitting, arm
supported, BP cuff size 2/3rd
arm
circumference
ļ‚§ White coat hypertension
ļ‚§ Masked hypertension
ļ‚§ Ambulatory and home BP
measurement
ļ‚§ 2 times in 1st
visit, both arms.
ļ‚§ In elderly- standing BP also.

Individuals with SBP and DBP in2 categories should be designated to the
higher BP category.
Blood pressure is based on an average of 2 careful readings obtained on

Treatment
ļ‚§ Non pharmacological / lifestyle
measures

 Increased consumption of fruits and
vegetables

Non pharmacological interventions
ļ‚§ Weight loss is recommended to reduce BP
in adults with elevated BP or hypertension
who are overweight or obese.
ļ‚§ A heart-healthy diet, such as DASH (dietary
approaches to stop hypertension) diet, that
facilitates a desirable weight is
recommended for adults with elevated BP
or hypertension.
ļ‚§ Sodium reduction is recommended for
adults with elevated BP or hypertension.
ļ‚§ Potassium supplementation, preferably
in dietary modification, unless
contraindicated.
ļ‚§ Increased physical activity with a
structured exercise program is
recommended for adults with elevated
BP or hypertension.

or hypertension who currently consume
alcohol should be advised to drink no

(clinical trial experiences less
persuasive)
