Arterial blood pressure
Systolic pressure (Ps) : Left ventricular contraction
maximum aortic or arterial pressure ~ 120 mmHg
Diastolic pressure (Pd) : Left ventricular relaxation
minimum aortic or arterial pressure ~ 80 mmHg
Pulse pressure (Pp) = Ps - Pd (normal ~ 40 mmHg)
Mean pressure = Pd + 1/3 (pulse pressure) or Pd + 1/3 (Ps
- Pd) (normal 93.3 mmHg)
Ps/Pd = 120/80 mmHg
Pressure : aorta and arteries >>> arterioles > capillaries
Resistance
Systemic hypertension
Definition
HT : Systolic blood pressure, SBP > 140 mmHg and/or
diastolic blood pressure, DBP > 90 mmHg
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) : SBP > 140 mmHg but
DBP < 90 mmHg
Isolated office hypertension or white-coat hypertension
(WCH) : High BP at clinic, hospital or public health service
(SBP > 140 mmHg and/or DBP > 90 mmHg) but normal BP at
home (SBP < 135 mmHg and DBP < 85 mmHg)
Masked hypertension (MH) : Normal BP at clinic, hospital or
public health service (SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg)
but high BP at home (SBP > 135 mmHg or DBP > 85 mmHg)
A
Systemic hypertension
Classified
1.Essential (Primary or Idiopathic) HT
~ 90-95%
No known explanation, overconsumption of sodium and
underconsumption of potassium, related to genetics,
vascular disorder in obese, old age, or physical
inactivity
2.Secondary HT
Specific underlying condition with a well-known
mechanism : Chronic kidney disease, narrowing of the
aorta or kidney arteries, or endocrine disorders such as
excess aldosterone, cortisol, or catecholamines

Pathophysiology of
hypertension
Behavioral Determinants
Nicotine in cigarette smoke transiently raises BP by 10-20 mmHg
Moderate alcohol drinkers (one to two drinks per day) generally
have less HT than teetotalers, but the risk for development of HT
increases in heavy drinkers (three or more drinks per day)
Caffeine consumption typically causes only a small transient rise
in BP
Physical inactivity also increases the risk for developing HT
Diets low in fresh fruit may increase risk, but excessive
consumption of calories and sodium are the two most important
behavioral determinants of HT
HT prevalence increases linearly with average body mass index

Genetic Determinants
Concordance of BP is higher in
families than in unrelated persons
Higher for monozygotic than for
dizygotic twins
Single gene mutations affect blood
pressure by altering renal salt

Receptors (baroreceptors or pressoreceptors) afferent nerve fibers (carotid sinus nerves
and aortic sinus nerves) reflex centers (VMC and cardioinhibitory center) effective nerve

Malignant hypertension
Hypertensive crisis
Systolic BP > 180 and/or Diastolic BP > 120 mmHg
Hypertensive crisis
Hypertensive urgency : Without target organ damage
Hypertensive emergency : With target organ damage
A hypertensive urgency is a clinical situation in which blood
pressure should be lowered within 24 to 48 hours, in contrast
to a hypertensive emergency where blood pressure must
be lowered immediately and carefully to prevent or limit end

Malignant hypertension
Hypertensive emergency
High BP with acute impairment of one or more organ systems
(especially the central nervous system, cardiovascular system
or the kidneys)
BP > 180/120 mmHg
The pathophysiology of hypertensive emergency is not well
understood (failure of normal autoregulation and an abrupt rise
in systemic vascular resistance are typical initial components of
the disease process)
BP should be slowly lowered over a period of minutes to hours
with an antihypertensive agent
