If a pt has elevated bp, what is the first thing you should try
nonpharm therapy, monitor in 3-6 months
if a pt is in stage 1 htn AND has a clinical ASCVD or estimated 10 year CVD risk >10% what do you do?
nonpharm therapy + BP-lowering medication, reaccess in 1 month
if a pt in stage 1 htn has attempted a BP lowering med and the goal is not met after 1 month, what is the next step?
assess and optimize adherence to therapy
if a pt is in stage 2 htn what is the first step of therapy?
BP lowering med with nonpharm changes
BP is the product of what and what
cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR)
BP equation
CO x TPR
CO is the product of what and what?
cardiac stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR)
what is the equation for CO?
CO=SV x HR
SV is determined by what 3 things?
cardiac contractility
venous return to the heart
resistance the left ventricle must overcome to eject blood into the aorta
