HTN PATHO QUIZ

•BP during Diastole happens  when myocardium contracts

•BP 130/85 is a HTN 1

•Sympathetic Nervous System causes an increase in heart rate thereby increasing BP

•Aldosterone increased Sodium and water reabsorption thus increasing Peripheral Resistance

•Acute inflammation of inner lining of arteries can contribute to HTN

•Obesity contributes to HTN by decreasing vascularity and peripheral resistance

•Insulin resistance contribute to HTN through increased release of vasodilators

•Antihistamines can increase BP

•Malignant HTN has a diastolic pressure over 140 mmHg

•ARBs promotes vasodilation of arteries.
