1. THE SILENT KILLER
HYPERTENSION

2. HYPERTENSION
BLOOD pressure that is above normal for sustained period .

3. Most common health problem In adults and the leading cause of cardiovascular disorder.

4. Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure
Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Amedical condition in which constricted arterial blood vessels

5. increase the resistance to blood flow, causing an increase in blood pressure against vessel walls.

6. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Most of the time, there are no symptoms.
Asymptomatic.
Idiopathic.

7. Symptoms that may occur include:
Confusion
Ear noise or buzzing
Fatigue
Headache

8. Irregular heartbeat
Nosebleed
Vision changes
Shorthness of breath
Decrease energy

9. ETIOLOGY
Hypertension is classified into primary and secondary hypertension. Primary no definite cause.

10. increase the resistance to blood flow, causing an increase in blood pressure against vessel walls.

11. Secondary hypertension it usually the result of some other primary diseases leading to hypertension such as renal disease.

12. Primary hypertension is attributed to atherosclerosis.

13. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY KIDNEY: release renin into the bloodstream.
LIVER: rennin helps convert angiotensin to angiotensin I

14. LUNGS: angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II
KIDNEY: angiotensine II causes arterial constriction and aldosterone secretion.

15. ALDOSTERONE : cause sodium and water retention
Retained sodium and water increase blod volume.

16. Arterial constriction increases peripheral vascular resistance.
Increased blood volume and vascular resistance cause hypertension.

17. RISK FACTORS Family history Sedentary lifestyle Obesity
Continual stress

18. Advancing age
Cigarette smoking
Excessive Alcohol consumption
High K intake, ca, and mg

19. High- fat and calorie diet
Stress
Use of contraceptive drugs

20. TREATMENT Diuretics Ex. Hydrochlorothiazide (aldoril, aproside)
Furosemide(lasix)

21. Beta blockers
Ex. Atenol(tenormin)
Metoprolol (lopressor)

22. ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II receptor blockers
Ex. Benazepril (lotensin)
Quinapril (accupril)

23. Calcium channel blockers
Ex. Captopril (capoten, capozide)
Enalapril (vasotec, vaseretic)

24. Sympathetic Nerve Blocker

25. Exercise regularly.
Reduce stress.
Stay at a healthy body weight.

26. NURSING INTERVENTION DASH type can decrease or lower BP @ 2 weeks.
Stay away for the fast food.

27. If you smoke, quit!
Limit how much alcohol you drink -- 1 drink a day for women, 2 a day for men.

28. Eat a heart-healthy diet, including K and fiber, and drink plenty of water.
Limit the amount of Na you eat

29. If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control.
Lose weight if you are overweight. Excess weight adds to strain on the heart. In some.

30. DIAGNOSE
The best way to diagnose hypertension is to check your BP frequently.

31. That’s all
