CCRP AACVPR Blood Pressure
Management
________ percent of patients enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation
programs have been reported to have hypertension -
ANS Forty-eight
Hypertensive heart disease can lead to -
ANS left
ventricular hypertrophy, LV systolic dysfunction,
atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, aortic
aneurysm and dissection, and sudden death.
Reportedly 95% of adults with high blood pressure
have what type of hypertension? -
ANS primary or essential hypertension. The cause of
primary hypertension is not completely understood,
but is due to a combination of genetic and
environmental factors, often with coexistent disease.
Elderly people often have -
ANS isolated or predominantly systolic
hypertension, which is due to stiffening of the aorta
with increasing age.
Name three common diseases which contribute to the
development and worsening of hypertension -
ANS obesity, sleep apnea, and intrinsic renal disease
What affects blood pressure -
ANS cardiac output and vascular resistance
Sodium retention
leads to a sequence of increased -
ANS fluid retention,
increased intravascular volumes, increased cardiac
output, and consequently raised blood pressures
Peripheral vascular resistance -
ANS is determined by
neurohormonal factors which act at the level of
arterioles

What medications are particularly effective in hypertensive patients with tachycardia, and their hypotensive potency is enhanced by co-administration with a diuretic - ANS β blockers β blockers lower blood pressure - ANS by decreasing cardiac output, due to a reduction in heart rate and contractility. Name some possible adverse affects of β blockers - ANS associated with the worsening of preexisting asthma and COPD, worsen hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, cold feet, vivid dreams, and rebound hypertension on discontinuation of drug
