This document discusses hypertension (high blood pressure), including its classification, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It defines the different stages of hypertension according to blood pressure readings. Lifestyle modifications are recommended initially, including diet changes and exercise. If lifestyle changes do not control blood pressure, medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, and other drug classes may be used. The goal of treatment is to prevent complications in target organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys by maintaining a blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg.
Hypertension has many potential causes and treatments depending on the clinical situation. Secondary hypertension should be considered when initial control is difficult or the onset of hypertension is rapid. Treatment of hypertensive emergencies involves gradual reduction of blood pressure while avoiding hypotension, using agents like sodium nitroprusside or labetalol. Long-term regimens after crisis typically include vasodilators, beta-blockers, and diuretics. Management is tailored based on any underlying conditions and target organ effects.
This document provides information on the diagnosis and management of hypertension. It defines hypertension as blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg. It describes the types and causes of hypertension, including essential (95% of cases, no identifiable cause) and secondary (underlying cause such as renal or endocrine issues). Target organ damage from uncontrolled hypertension includes effects on the heart, brain, kidneys, and retina. Lifestyle modifications and medication are used to treat hypertension with the goals of reducing blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg to prevent cardiovascular events. Common classes of antihypertensive medications discussed include diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and angiotensin receptor blockers.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is defined as an average systolic blood pressure above 140 mm Hg or an average diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm Hg based on multiple readings. There are three main types of hypertension: essential or primary hypertension which has no known cause, secondary hypertension caused by other conditions, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Blood pressure is regulated by both rapid-acting mechanisms like the sympathetic nervous system and baroreceptors, and slower-acting mechanisms like the kidneys and renin-angiotensin system. Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risks of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other health issues.

This document discusses heart failure, including its definition, causes, types, and compensatory mechanisms. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by intrinsic pump failure, an increased workload on the heart, or impaired filling of the cardiac chambers. The types of heart failure include acute or chronic, right-sided or left-sided, and forward or backward failure. When the heart begins to fail, compensatory mechanisms such as cardiac hypertrophy, dilation, and increased heart rate attempt to maintain adequate blood circulation.
Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Newer generations of cephalosporins have greater activity against gram-negative bacteria with decreased activity against gram-positive organisms. Ceftobiprole and ceftaroline are fourth generation cephalosporins effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through binding to resistant penicillin-binding proteins PBP2a and PBP2x.
This document discusses neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on Alzheimer's disease. It defines neurodegeneration as the progressive loss of neurons, and notes several common neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's. For Alzheimer's specifically, it describes the disease stages from pre-dementia to advanced, symptoms like memory loss and cognitive decline, pathological features like amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, potential causes like the amyloid and tau hypotheses, and methods of diagnosis including cognitive testing and brain imaging.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic infection. It is transmitted through contact with infectious blood or body fluids and can potentially lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. While there is no cure for chronic HBV infection, treatment can suppress viral replication and prevent progression of liver disease. HBV infection is preventable through vaccination, which provides over 90% protection for newborns when given with antibodies within 12 hours of birth.
Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages in the lungs that is usually caused by a viral infection such as a cold or the flu. It causes coughing and other breathing problems that typically last around two weeks. While it is usually not a serious illness, it can sometimes be caused by bacterial infections or pollution. Diagnosis involves examining symptoms and listening to the lungs for abnormal sounds. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through rest, fluids, medication, and avoiding irritants. Complications are rare in otherwise healthy children.
The document discusses how the hypothalamus regulates body temperature through increasing or decreasing mechanisms in response to heat or cold. In hot conditions, the hypothalamus triggers sweating and vasodilation to cool the body, while in cold conditions it causes piloerection, vasoconstriction, shivering and metabolic heat production to conserve heat. The hypothalamus integrates input from thermoreceptors in the skin and blood to maintain core temperature within a narrow range.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

2. Essential hypertension or idiopathic
hypertension is the form
of hypertension that by definition, has no
identifiable cause.
Hypertension can increase the risk
of cerebral, cardiac, and renal events.

Symptoms are the same as noted in Stage I. Stage I and II hypertension
may be treated no pharmacologically with diet
and exercise or pharmacologically with antihypertensive medications.
Stage III Hypertension. persistent elevation (systolic >180mm Hg; diast
olic >110mm Hg) with target end organ Damage.
This stage is often treated immediately with
antihypertensive medications.

8. Abnormal Na transport: Na-K pump (Na+, K+-ATPase)
is defective or inhibited intracellular Na = cell sensitive
to sympathetic stimulation
Sympathetic nervous system:Sympathetic
stimulation increases BP
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Vasodilator deficiency:Deficiency of a vasodilator
(eg, bradykinin, nitric oxide)
Pathology and complications: No pathologic changes
occur early in hypertension.
Most of the patients with essential hypertension have
the normal cardiac output but raised peripheral
resistance
9. Hypertension is usually asymptomatic until
complications develop in target organs
Dizziness, flushed facies, headache, fatigue,
epistaxis, and nervousness are not caused by
essential hypertension.
ONLY Severe hypertension can cause severe
cardiovascular, neurologic, renal, and retinal
symptoms (eg, symptomatic coronary
atherosclerosis, HF, hypertensive
encephalopathy, renal failure).

more years of lifestyle modifications, antihy
For most hypertensive patients, one drug,
usually a thiazide-type diuretic, is given
initially. pertensive drugs are required.
Low-dose aspirin (81 mg once/day) appears
to reduce incidence of cardiac events in
hypertensive patients
16. •Some antihypertensives are
contraindicated in certain disorders
like β-blockers in asthma
• OR indicated particularly for certain
disorders as β-blockers or Ca channel
blockers for angina pectoris
•ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II
receptor blockers for diabetes
•When a single drug is used, black
men may respond best to a Ca
channel blocker (eg, diltiazem).
• Thiazide-type diuretics appear to
be particularly effective in
people > 60 and in blacks.
17. Diuretics: modestly reduce plasma volume and reduce vascular
resistance, possibly via shifts in Na from intracellular to extracellular loci.
These drugs are the least expensive initial therapy
Main are thiazide-type diuretics, loop diuretics, and K-sparing diuretics.
Loop diuretics are used to treat hypertension only in patients who have
lost > 50% of kidney function.
Thiazide-type diuretics are most commonly used. In addition to other
antihypertensive effects, they cause vasodilation as long as intravascular
volume is normal.
Thiazide-type diuretics can increase serum cholesterol slightly (mostly
low-density lipoprotein) and also increase triglyceride levels,
All diuretics except the K-sparing distal tubular diuretics cause significant
K loss.
18. β−Blockers: These slow heart rate and reduce
myocardial contractility, thus reducing BP.
All β-blockers are similar in antihypertensive efficacy.
In patients with diabetes, chronic peripheral arterial
disease, or COPD, a cardioselective β-blocker
acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol,bisoprolol, metoprolol)
cardioselective β-blockers are contraindicated in
patients with asthma or in patients with COPD with a
prominent bronchospastic component.
β-Blockers have CNS adverse effects (sleep
disturbances, fatigue, lethargy) and exacerbate
depression
19.
20. Ca channel blockers: are potent peripheral vasodilators
and reduce BP by decreasing TPR;
they sometimes cause reflexive tachycardia.
Nondihydropyridines,verapamil,anddiltiazem
slow the heart rate, decrease atrioventricular conduction,
and decrease myocardial contractility.
Long-acting nifedipine,verapamil,ordiltiazem,is used to
treat hypertension,
but short-acting nifedipine and diltiazem are associated
with a high rate of MI and are not recommended.
A Ca channel blocker is preferred to a β-blocker in patients
with angina pectoris and a bronchospastic disorder, with
coronary spasms
21.
22. ACE inhibitors: These drugs reduce BP by interfering
with the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
and by inhibiting the degradation of bradykinin,
thereby decreasing peripheral vascular resistance
without causing reflex tachycardia.
These drugs reduce BP in many hypertensive patients,
regardless of plasma renin activity.
these drugs provide renal protection, they are the
drugs of choice for patients with diabetes and may be
preferred for blacks.
A dry irritating cough is the most common adverse
effect
23.
24. Adrenergic modifiers: This class includes
central α2-agonists, postsynaptic α1-blockers,
and peripheral-acting adrenergic blockers.
α 2-Agonists:
methyldopa, clonidine,guanabenz, guanfacine
stimulate α2-adrenergic receptors in the brain
stem and reduce sympathetic nervous activity,
lowering BP.
Because they have a central action, they are
more likely than other antihypertensives to
cause drowsiness, lethargy, and depression; they
are no longer widely used.
25.
26. Direct vasodilators: These drugs work
directly on vessels, independently of the
autonomic nervous system.
but has more adverse effects, including
Na and water retention and hypertrichosis,
which is poorly tolerated by women.

Hypertension is a progressive and lethal
disease with not treated properly
Untreated hypertension is associated with
shortening of life by 10 till 20.
Nearly 30 % of patients acquires
atherosclerosis complication
More than 50 % will have a end organ
damage
29. IMC lower than 25 always
Limit salt , caffeine and alcohol excessive
consumption
Exercise regularly
30. The ultimate public health goal of antihypertensive therapy is to reduce the morbidity and
mortality from cardiovascular and renal events. It is well established that lowering BP reduces
cardiovascular risk. Study has estimated the absolute benefit associated with a 12-mm Hg
reduction in systolic BP over 10 years.
For the patient with stage 1 hypertension (systolic BP 140-159 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP 90-
99 mm Hg) and additional cardiovascular risk factors, one death would be prevented for every 11
patients treated. In the presence of cardiovascular disease with target organ damage, only nine
patients would require BP reduction to prevent a death.
Evidence exists that treating systolic BP and diastolic BP to a target below 140/90 mm Hg is
associated with reduction in cardiovascular disease complications.
Data now support treatment to a BP goal below 130/80 mm Hg in patients with hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, or renal disease.
Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor. Although a majority of patients with
hypertension remain asymptomatic, a careful early evaluation identifies those with or at risk for
target organ damage
The effective management of hypertension is therefore an important primary health care
objective in managing cardiovascular and renal disease.
The majority of patients with uncontrolled hypertension are older adults with isolated stage 1 or 2
systolic hypertension, most of whom have access to and regular visits with their health care
providers.
