Question | Answer |
Definition of Mild Hypertension | Anything above 140/90 |
Causes of Elevated Blood Pressure | Inc in peripheral resistance, normal cardiac output & elevated blood pressure |
Effects of high blood pressure | Blood vessel damage in the kidneys, heart & brain |
Cause of Essential/Primary High Pressure | No specific cause |
Cause of Secondary Hypertension | Side effect of other illnesses |
Measurement of Blood Pressure | Systolic & Dystolic Arterial Blood Pressure (pressure at peak of blood ejection & ventricular contraction) |
Blood Pressure Equation | Systolic Arterial Blood Pressure/ Diastolic Arterial BP |
Peripheral Vascular Resistant (PVR) | Determined by the arterioles (altered by narrowing the lumen) |
Mean Arterial Blood Pressure Equation | Cardiac Output x PVR |
Pulse Pressure Equation | Systolic Pressure - Diastolic Pressure |
Cardiac Output Equation | Heart Rate x Stroke Volume |
