Arterial Hypertension Topics [General] Renovascular Hypertension Hypertensive Encephalopathy [General] Arterial hypertension: Elevation of systolic and/or diastolic BP, either primary or secondary. (For a discussion of hypertension in pregnancy, see Ch. 250. Prevalence Table 199-1 ). Hypertension occurs more often in black adults (32%) than in white (23%) or Mexican American (23%) adults, and morbidity and mortality are greater in blacks. Diastolic BP increases with age until age 55 or 60. Etiology and Pathogenesis Primary hypertension: Primary (essential) hypertension is of unknown etiology; its diverse hemodynamic and pathophysiologic derangements are unlikely to result from a single cause. Heredity is a predisposing factor, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Environmental factors (eg, dietary Na, obesity, stress) seem to act only in genetically susceptible persons. Isolated, perfused kidneys from Dahl salt-sensitive rats (which are genetically prone to hypertension when fed a high-salt diet) do not excrete water or Na as rapidly as those from Dahl salt-resistant rats, even before hypertension develops. The pathogenic mechanisms must lead to increased total peripheral vascular resistance (TPR) by inducing vasoconstriction, to increased cardiac output (CO), or to both because BP equals CO (flow) times resistance. Although expansion of intravascular and extravascular fluid volume is widely claimed to be important, such expansion can only raise BP by increasing CO (by increasing venous return to the heart), by increasing TPR (by causing vasoconstriction), or by both; it frequently does neither.

ypertension, or high blood pressure, affects more than 45 million Americans, and is the most common reason for adults to visit physicians. While strokes, heart failure, heart attacks, and kidney failure were common in people with elevated blood pressure years ago, treatment has had a dramatic impact on these problems.

Pulmonary Hypertension Group of Baylor College of Medicine is dedicated to serving the pulmonary hypertension needs of Texas and the Southwestern United States. We focus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a serious medical problem that leads to decreased quality of life and rapid death if left untreated. The goal of this web site is to provide objective information to the public and the healthcare professional about pulmonary hypertension and its treatment. As you explore our site, you will learn more about pulmonary hypertension, what will happen during your evaluation, and what you should expect from treatment. You can also read more by visiting these links Pulmonary hypertension is the presence of elevated arterial blood pressure in the circulation of the lungs. Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is when pulmonary hypertension occurs in the absence of a known cause. It is a rare disease. Pulmonary hypertension is much more common as a part of or a consequence of other diseases like chronic bronchitis, emphysema, collagen vascular diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or CREST syndrome, thromboembolic diseases, and congenital heart disease involving the heart valves. Diagnosis is often delayed because the initial symptoms of fatigue, difficulty breathing on exertion, and fainting are nonspecific and definitive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension requires invasive procedures. Pulmonary hypertension is extremely rare, occurring in about 2 people in every million. The average life expectancy after diagnosis of PPH is two to three years, with death usually due to progressive right heart failure.

Related Stories Next Story Source: Massachusetts General Hospital Date: Alcohol Linked To Decreased Hypertension Risk In Young Women Moderate alcohol consumption can lead to a reduced risk of developing hypertension in young women, according to researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). The study results, published in the March 11 Archives of Internal Medicine, use data from the Nurses' Health Study II, which is based at BWH. "For women in their 20s to 40s, we found that alcohol intake at moderate levels was beneficial to blood pressure and at high levels it was harmful," says Ravi Thadhani, MD, MPH, of the Renal Unit at MGH and the Channing Laboratory at BWH, the paper's lead author. Thadhani and his colleagues found that the association between alcohol consumption and risk of chronic hypertension in young women follows what is called a J-shaped curve: Light drinkers had a decreased risk compared with nondrinkers, but heavier drinkers had an increased risk. Thadhani and his team gathered data from over 70,000 women aged 25 to 42 years old at the study's outset in 1989, who did not report having hypertension during the study's early years. After eight years of follow-up, the scientists found that women who drank about two or three drinks a week had a risk of developing hypertension about 15 percent lower than that of nondrinkers. However, women who drank on average more than 10 or 12 drinks per week had a 30 percent increased risk of developing the condition.

Det finns dom som bli bra av mediciner och behandling och det finns dom som blir "handikappade" för ett tag eller för en lång tid.

Key Word Search Basic Facts What It Is When It's High JNC VI Recommendations ... For Physicians Resources Medications Find a Doctor Cookbook Hypertension Dictionary ... Health Station Demo What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing through your blood vessels against the vessel walls. It depends on your blood flow (how much blood is pumped by your heart) and the resistance of your blood vessels to blood flow. If the pressure is high, your heart must work much harder to maintain adequate blood flow to your body. This Section © 1996 Wellsource, Inc. What causes it? The causes of high blood pressure can vary, and most of the time, the cause isn't known. This form of the condition is called "essential hypertension." It might be due to a narrowing of the arteries, more blood than normal, or the heart beating more forcefully or faster than it usually should. Any of these conditions can raise the force of the blood against the artery walls. Sometimes high blood pressure can be caused by another medical problem, such as kidney disease. When this happens, the condition is called "secondary hypertension." As the name indicates, treating the main problem makes the blood pressure go down.

Hypertension Crusade by Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer Warn your friends, save their lives and your own, and protect your children against the silent top killer disease! Did you know that since 1987 hypertension (high blood pressure) has been curable? Why is this information still unknown in Western medicine? Who is teaching this method and how do I get a copy of the therapy? ... and now, do you feel cheated that you didn't know this? Nobel laureate Max Planck said this would happen, it would take 50 years for changes like these to filter down to the sick. What a waste of life and resources to think that since years ago the cure has been in use. The good news is that it has not been thrown out with the bath water. You can now get this advice here and now, within as little as 6-12 weeks be cured and out of danger of additional complications of hypertension (see the typical case histories in the book " Hypertension crusade now - or wait until the year 2037? Modern medicine regards itself to be an exact natural science, based on facts as results of scientific experiments. Indeed, students of medicine learn a complete doctrine of modern medicine; and they assume that this doctrine is composed of facts. They "believe" their teachers, and they believe in this doctrine (as most patients do). Too, they don't have any other choice, if they want to pass their examination and get their license as a physician. The inner conflict starts, when they find a fact which doesn't fit into the official medical doctrine. What to do in such a case? Ask the professor? This could look as if you have doubts, like not believing fully what the teacher is teaching. Dangerous for a student who will be examined by this professor. Better to live with the inner conflict until the examination could be passed successfully.
