Factors Influencing Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure = Cardiac Output xSystemic Vascular

Factors Influencing BP
• Hear rate
• Sympathatic/Parasympathatic
• Vasoconstriction/vasodilation
• Fluid volume– Renin-angiotensin– Aldosterone– ADH

HypertensionDefinition
HypertensionDefinition
• Hypertension is sustained elevation of BPHypertension is sustained elevation of BP– Systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg
– Diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg
• Hypertension is sustained elevation of BPHypertension is sustained elevation of BP– Systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg

Hypertension
• For persons over age 50, SBP is more important than DBP as a CVD risk factor
• Starting at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk doubles with each increment of 20/10 mmHg throughout the BP range
• For persons over age 50, SBP is more important than DBP as a CVD risk factor
• Starting at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk doubles with each increment of 20/10 mmHg throughout the BP range

Hypertension: Complications
• Complications are primarily related to development of atherosclerosis (“hardening of arteries”), or fatty deposits that harden with age

HypertensionDiagnosis
HypertensionDiagnosis
• Diagnosis requires two reading at two different clinic visits
• BP measurement in both arms
- Use arm with higher reading for subsequent measurements
Measure BP following 5min of rest in the sitting position with good back support

HypertensionDiagnosis
• Ambulatory BP Monitoring– For “white coat” phenomenon, hypotensive or
hypertensive episodes, apparent drug resistance

Treatment Goals
• Goal is to reduce overall cardiovascular risk factors and control
– Diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and every one less than age 60 BP < 140/90
– For those 60 years and older < 150/90

Benefits of Lowering BPBenefits of Lowering BP
Average Percent Reduction
Stroke incidence 35–40%
Myocardial infarction 20–25%
Heart failure 50%
