Hypertension: This presentation includes information about Hypertension, its types and classification, Pharmacological effects and its management.

1. >>Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure.
>>Hypertension is generally called “silent killer” as it
generally has no symptoms unit.
>>Generally hypertension is shown by obesity, heredity
and lifestyle.
>>Symptoms of hypertension is different in every
individual depend upon blood pressure,age,medical
history of the individual etc.
>>Hypertension is determined by- absolute and relative
blood pressure levels, calculated cardiovascular risk-
estimate from factors like age,gender,smoking history etc.

3.  Types of hypertension:-
 1.primary hypertension (essential hypertension)
 2.secondary hypertension
 Primary hypertension:-It is most common type affecting
95% of hypertensive patients. It increases with age . it
increases the risk of cerebral cardiac and renal events.
 Secondary hypertension:- Secondary hypertension
(secondary high blood pressure) is high blood pressure
that's caused by another medical condition. Secondary
hypertension can be caused by conditions that affect
your kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system.
Secondary hypertension can also occur during
pregnancy.

4.  Blood pressure :- it is defined as lateral pressure
exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels
while flowing through them.
It is determined by cardiac output and peripheral
vascular resistance.
 Blood pressure types:-
Systolic blood pressure
Diastolic blood pressure
 Systolic blood pressure:- it is the maximum blood
pressure during the ventricular systole it range from
110-130mmhg.
 Diastolic blood pressure:- it is the minimum
pressure during the ventricular diastolic. It ranges
from 70-90mmhg.

5.  Effect of hypertension-
 C.V.S..-the increase in myocardial work
load leads to angina pectoris and chronic
artery disease(CAD).
 C.N.S.-hypertension may cause
microencurysms.
 KIDNEY- shrinkage of
kidney,proteinuria may occur.

6.  Management of hypertension:-
 1. Pharmacological management (Diuretics
,sympatholytics, calcium channel blockers,
vasodilators etc.)
 2.Non-pharmacological management (reduction of
body weight, sodium restriction, alcohol
restriction,diet, physical exercise etc.)

9.  As epidemiological studies shows that the
hypertension is increasing exponentially in the
country, so person must understand the
healthy lifestyle, proper diet, proper sodium
intake etc for maintaining the blood
pressure.Pharmacological management of
hypertension have been shown in previous
slides and hence, the person with adequate
given drugs can maintain their blood pressure
and live a healthy life.
