| 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 |
