HYPERTENSION
 HTN prevalence ~ age > 18 years 25-30%
age > 65 years 50%
 Only 30-35% of hypertensive patients are well control
 The BP relationship to risk of CVD is continuous, consistent, and
independent of other risk factors.
 Blood pressure is a continuous variable which
fluctuates widely during the day
• physical stress
• mental stress
• High during the day ( early morning)
• Low during sleep
 The definition of hypertension has been arbitrarily
set as: abnormal elevation of blood pressure:
Control of blood pressure
 Blood pressure is controlled by an integrated
system
 Prime contributors to blood pressure are:
• Cardiac output
• Stroke volume
• Heart rate
• Peripheral vascular resistance
 Each of these factors can be manipulated by drug
therapy
 BP= C.O.P× Peripheral Resistant
Sympathetic Nervous System
 Sympathetic system activation produces
• vasoconstriction
• reflex tachycardia
• increased cardiac output
 In this way blood pressure is increased
 The actions of the sympathetic system are rapid
and account for second to second blood pressure
control
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
 The RAAS is pivotal in long-term BP control
 The RAAS is responsible for:
• maintenance of sodium balance
• control of blood volume
• control of blood pressure
 The RAAS is stimulated by:
• fall in BP
• fall in circulating volume
• sodium depletion
 Any of the above stimulate renin release from the
juxtaglomerular apparatus
 Renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
 Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by
angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
Angiotensin II is a potent
• vasoconstrictor
• anti-natriuretic peptide
• stimulator of aldosterone release from the
adrenal glands
 Aldosterone is also a potent antinatriuretic and
antidiuretic peptide
 Angiotensin II is also a potent hypertrophic agent
which stimulates myocyte and smooth muscle
hypertrophy in the arterioles

 Myocyte and smooth muscle hypertrophy:
• are both poor prognostic indicators in patients
with hypertension
• partially explain why hypertension and the risks
of hypertension persist in some patients despite
treatment
 Both the sympathetic and RAAS are key targets in
the treatment of hypertension
Pathophysiology
Mechanism
 Neurogenic: sympathetic activation– high
catecholamin– high arteriolar tone– high resistent
 Abnormal Na balance:
Na excretion----Salt and
Water retention----increase volume----increase COP---Increase tone
 At cellular level----Inhibition of Na pump –Increase
Na intracellular---Activate Na-Ca pump ---increase
intracellular Ca --Vasoconstriction
Pathophysiology
 Multifactorial in origin and caused by a
breakdown of the control mechanisms which
regulates:
 Cardiac Out Put
 Blood volume
 Na balance
 Systemic vascular resistant
Aetiology of Hypertension
 Primary
– 90-95% of cases – also termed “essential” or
“idiopathic”
 Secondary
– about 5% -10% of cases
Essential HTN
 Usually occurs in the fourth or fifth decade
 Risk factors
• Obesity
• Excessive salt intake
• Excessive alcohol intake
• Lack of exercise
• Stress
• Family history of essential HTN
• Others: fetal weight, humoral factors, metabolic
syndrome X
 Caffeine and smoking increase the BP acutely but are not
risk factors for the development of chronic essential HTN
Secondary – about 5% -10% of cases
• Renal : 1- Paranchymal: GN, Pylonephritis, Polycystic
kidney,…
•
2- Renal artery stenosis: atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia
• Endocrine disease
•
•
•
•
Phaeochomocytoma
Cusings syndrome
Conn’s syndrome
Acromegaly and hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism
• Iatrogenic
• Hormonal / oral contraceptive
• NSAIDs
• Steroid, sympathomimetic, carbenoxolone,
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Sleep apnea syndrome
Pregnency: pre-eclampsia, eclampsia
SECONDARY HYPERTENSION
 Drug-induced or related causes
• NSAIDs
• oral contraceptives, steroids
• Cocaine, amphetamines, other illicit drugs
• Sympathomimetics
• Cyclosporine and tacrolimus
• Erythropoietin

Clinical manifestation
 Asymptomatic
 Non-specific symptoms: headache, epistaxis,
nocturia,..
 Target organ damage: CVS, CNS, Kidney, Eye,
Periphral vascular disease
 Symptoms of secondary causes: Muscle weakness,
palpitation, sweating, tremors, flank pain,
hematuria,..
Patient Evaluation
Evaluation of patients with documented HTN has three
objectives:
1. Assess lifestyle and identify other CV risk factors or
concomitant disorders that affects prognosis and
guides treatment.
2. Reveal identifiable causes of high BP.
3. Assess the presence or absence of target organ
damage.

SIGNS OF SECONDARY CAUSES
SIGNS OF ORGAN DAMAGE
BP MEASUREMENT
 Measurement of BP should be obtained:
• In all adults (age >18) at each visit
• > 30 minutes after use of nicotine or caffeine
• After 5 minutes of rest with arm supported at
heart level
• With appropriate sized cuff
• bladder should encircle 80% of the arm
BP MEASUREMENT
 Measurement of BP should be obtained:
• Twice, at least two minutes apart
• repeat if >5 mm pressure difference
• With patient seated with feet flat on floor, back and
arm supported, and arm at heart level
• Use manual mercury sphygmomanometer or
recently calibrated aneroid manometer or validated
automated device (JNCVI and VII)
BP MEASUREMENT
 Self measurement of BP
• An avg BP more than
135/85 mmHg measured
at home is generally
considered to be
hypertensive
• Wrist and finger
manometers are not
recommended
