High blood pressure is the main cause of which of these?

Optimal blood pressure is written as?

The primary reason for hypertension is :

Hydralazine works on hypertension by:

'Symptoms occur at rest and during physical activity. Any type of activity causes increasing discomfort.'

This functional classification of pulmonary hypertension falls into which one of the following categories?

You are seeing a 60-year-old man for the first time. He has untreated hypertension (168/106 mm Hg and blood pressure has been elevated on at least 3 occasions). There is currently no evidence of target organ dysfunction (heart, neurological, or eyegrounds).

From a therapeutic perspective, what is the best initial approach?

You evaluate a woman with chronic hypertension whose blood pressure remains above target despite a daily regimen of benazepril 20 mg, chlorthalidone 25 mg, and amlodipine 10 mg.

Your next step should be:

You see a patient whose previous physician has retired. The patient’s blood pressure is not controlled on a regimen of hydralazine 20 mg three times a day, atenolol 50 mg daily, and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide daily. The patient has stage 3 chronic kidney disease (GFR 38 mL/min).

You should (choose all that apply):

You are seeing a 66-year-old woman with hypertension that has been hard to control. The patient has non-proteinuric CKD-3 (GFR, 40 cc/min by MDRD calculation) and is on a 3 drug-regimen for blood pressure control: amlodipine 10 mg/day; valsartan 320 mg/day; hydrochlorthiazide 12.5 mg/day.

Comparing home monitoring blood pressure readings with office values demonstrates that she is consistently above her target blood pressure. You should:

You see a 56-year-old man who was previously diagnosed with hypertension and treated with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, chlorthalidone, and amlodipine. His blood pressure readings have been below target, but today his blood pressure is 190/112 mm Hg. He admits that he stopped his medications. He denies chest pain, shortness of breath, neurologic changes, and visual disturbances.

His examination does not reveal funduscopic changes or neurologic findings, and his heart examination and ECG are normal. You order lab studies for electrolyte levels and renal function; they return later and are normal. You should:

Reducing salt intake to less than 5g daily can prevent hypertension.

True or false?

High blood pressure can usually be cured.

true or false?

Swollen veins on the lower leg are a symptom of portal hypertension.

True or false?

Electrocardiography was done for a patient who presented with severe exertional dyspnea, chest pain, and occasional fainting spells. It revealed a mitral valve area of 1 sq cm, elevated LA pressure, and significant RV hypertrophy with TR. Which is the next best step in evaluation of this patient?

Which of the following biomarker is associated with high blood pressure?

The following investigations are appropriate as part of the initial assessment of a patient who has newly diagnosed hypertension:

A 62 year old male with a history of hypertension presents to his primary care physician for a routine check-up. His blood pressure is 220/110. He admits to not taking his blood pressure medications today. His ECG is below. What are the ECG findings?

55-year-old obese man with a history of diabetes and hypertension gets his master health checkup. His lipid profile values are as follows:

Total Cholesterol (T.C): 250 mg/dl,

HDL Cholesterol (HDL-c): 30 mg/dl,

Triglyceride (T.G):150mg/dl. Which ONE of the following is the L.D.L value for this patient?
