4. HTN Flashcards
normal BP
120/8-0
elevated
120-129/80
stage 1 HTN bp
130-139/80-89
stage 2 HTN bp
> 140/90
HTN means we cannot
perfuse the heart as well
HTN causes
LV hypertrophy
coronary insufficiency
HF
baroreceptors: high pressure zone
sensitive > 60mmHg
aortic arch
carotid sinus
baroreceptors: low pressure zones
large veins
wall of atria
what regulates sympathetic changes
high pressure baroreceptors
what regulates blood volume
low pressure baroreceptors
what contributes to acute and long term volume control
RAAS
angiotensin 2
vasocontriction
incr aldosterone
aldosterone
incr Na+
incr H2O
exretes K+
ADH aka
vasopressing
ADH low doses
reabsoprtion of water
ADH high doses
vasoconstriction
endothelin
vasoconstriction
ANP is secreted by
atrial myocytes
ANP effects
incr GFR
incr Na+ excretion
incr H2O excretion
BNP secreted by
ventricular myocytes
BNP effects
vessel dilation
ANP/BNP prevent
myocardial remodeling/hypertophy
secondary HTN causes in kids
renal disease
coarctation of aorta
secondary HTN adolescnets
coarctation of aorta
