Q

What is the funtion of baroreceptors and where are they?

A

Located in aortic arch and carotid sinus
Maintain BP by sensing stretch of artery. When BP is low, baroreceptors send a signal to the brain to signal to the B1 and alpha receptors. B1 increase CO and Alpha cause vasoconstriction

16
Q

MAP equation

A

MAP= 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic

17
Q

What causes primary HTN?

A

environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors/unknown

18
Q

What causes secondary hypertension?

A

Caused by conditions that affect the kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system. Secondary hypertension can also occur during pregnancy.
ex. diabetes, chronic kidney disease, renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, obesity/sleep apnea

19
Q

What is the first treatment for primary hypertension?

A

lifestyle modifications
weight loss, exercise, DASH diet, decrease alcohol, decrease sodium

20
Q

hypertensive urgency

A

BP of 180/110 or higher but no organ damage. Can be corrected with immediate care and medicine over 24-48 hours

21
Q

hypertensive emergency

A

BP of 180/110 or higher with organ damage. Critical emergency. Can result in stroke, heart attach, aortic dissection, and death.

22
Q

orthostatic hypotension

A

decrease in systolic bp >20mmHg or >10mmHg within three mins when moving to an upright position. Increase of HR by 20-30 bpm may be diagnostic

23
Q

symptoms of orthostatic hypotension

A

dizziness, blurred vision, confusion, and possible syncope

24
Q

What is orthostatic BP associated with?

A

cardiovascular disease and a risk factor for stroke, cognitive impairment, and death.

25
Q

What can cause orthostatic hypotension?

A

issues with baroreceptor or vasomotor response
adverse drug therapy
arterial stiffness
volume depletion
secondary disease process
vasovagal response
cardiac dysrhythmias

26
Q

Orthostatic hypotension treatments

A

slow positional changes
avoid heat
avoid large or high carb meals
increase salt and fluid intake

27
Q

When ace inhibitors are used what are the 4 results?

A
  1. arteriole dilation which improves blood flow to kidneys, decreases renal constriction, reduces afterload, increases stroke volume/CO, and promotes excretion of sodium and water
  2. venous dilation which reduces venous pressure, reduces pulmonary congestion, reduces peripheral edema, and increases preload and cardiac dilation
  3. suppression of aldosterone release
  4. reduced cardiac remodeling
28
Q

pathophysiologic mechanism for hyperkalemia

A

Due to the suppression of aldosterone, K+ is not secreted into the urine

29
Q

What other pre existing conditions or drugs may increase K levels when given with ACEi?

A

naturally higher K+ value
poor renal function
diabetes
K supplements or sparing diuretics
NSAIDs and salt substitutes

30
Q

Ischaemia-Reperfusion injury (IRI)

A

the paradoxical exacerbation of cellular dysfunction and death, following restoration of blood flow to previously ischaemic tissues.

31
Q

What are the 4 B side effects of beta blockers?

A

bradycardia, low BP, low blood glucose, and bronchoconstriction
