Pathophysiology
of Hypertension
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
•Hypertension is the chronic elevation of blood
pressure that, in the long-term, causes end-organ
damage and results in increased morbidity and
mortality.
•Occurs due to the abnormal functioning of the
arterial pressure related to the central nervous
system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,
endothelial dysfunction, genes and even due to
certain environmental factors.
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
•Factors which contribute to the development of
hypertension are:
Aging
Genetics
Obesity
Smoking
Salt Sensitivity
High Frequent Alcohol Consumption
High Fat Diet
Low FiberDiet
•Normal blood Pressure is calculated as: 120/80 in
healthy adults.
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
•Resting Blood Pressure ≥ 140/90 on two separate
occasions in an individual is characterized as either
Stage I or Stage II Hypertension.
•Resting Blood Pressure ≥ 130/80 in diabetic patients
increases their risk for the development of heart
disease.

Dietary-History
24-hr Recall
Usual dietary intake:
AM: 1 c coffee (black)
Hot (oatmeal with 1 tspmargarine and 2 tspsugar) or cold (Frosted
Mini-Wheats) cereal.
½ c 2% milk
1 c orange juice

1 c glazed carrots (1 tspsugar, 1 tspbutter)
Dinner salad with ranch –style dressing (3 tsp)-lettuce, spinch,
croutons, sliced cucumber
HS snack: 2 c butter pecan ice cream
Recognition of Diet/ Drug
Interaction
•High intakes of salt in the diet increases the excretion
of Potassium while taking hydrochlorothaizdecan
lead to development of hypokalemia
•High intakes of Caffeine while taking
hydrochlorothaizdecan lead to a strong diuretic
effect on the body thereby leading to dehydration
•Untreated dehydration can lead to heart injury,
cerebral edema, kidney failure, hypovolemic shock
and even death.
