Flashcards in Hypertension Deck (24):
1
Pulse pressure definition
Systolic BP-Diastolic BP
2
Pulse pressure values
normal 30-40
widened >40
narrowed <30
3
Widened pulse pressure (indicates)
aortic regurg
patent ductus arteriosis (heart defect)
AV fistula
beriberi hearth (nutritional)
severe anemia
isolated systolic hypertension (lasts a short time)
thyrotoxicosis
aortic coarctation
emotional state
4
Narrowed pulse pressure (indicates)
tachycardia
ascites (liver fluid in the belly)
pericardial effusion (fluid surrounding the heart)
severe aortic stenosis
constrictive pericarditis
5
HTN is the modifiable risk factor for...
Coronary heart disease
stroke
heart failure
end-stage renal disease
peripheral vascular disease
6
What are the complications of the CNS due to HTN?
intracerebral hemorrhage
lacunar infarcts
encephalopathy
thrombotic stroke
transient ischemic attack
7
What are the ophthalmologic complications due to HTN?
papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve)
exudates
fundal hemorrhage
8
What are the cardiac complications due to HTM?
LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy)
heart failure
angina pectoris (chest pain)
MI
9
What are the vascular complications due to HTN?
aortic dissection (lining of the aorta separates)
diffuse atherosclerosis (poor circulation)
10
What are the renal complications due to HTN?
nephrosclerosis
renal artery stenosis (2ndary HTN is caused by this)
11
aortic coarctation will cause
widened pulse pressure
12
aortic regurg will cause
widened pulse pressure
13
beri beri heart will cause
widened pulse pressure
14
severe anemia will cause
widened pulse pressure AND
large, bounding pulse AND
clubbing
15
thyrotoxicosis will cause
widened pulse pressure
16
altered emotional state will cause
widened pulse pressure
17
aortic stenosis will cause
narrowed pulse pressure AND
small, weak pulses
18
PDA will cause
widened pulse pressure AND
large, bounding pulse
19
barrel chest is associated with
emphysema and men
20
obesity is a risk factor for
DM
heart disease
stroke
HTN
osteoarthritis
some cancers
21
pericardial effusion will cause
narrowed pulse pressure
22
arteriosclerosis
loss of elasticity of large and medium size arteries
23
atherosclerosis
hardening of arteries caused by build up of fatty acids in arteries-causes peripheral arterial disease
