|
Target BP for Uncomplicated HTN
|
<140/<90
|
|
Target for BP for diabetes or chronic kidney disease
|
<130/<80, people with diabetes are at higher risk for atherosclerotic problems and heart disase

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (increase fruits and veggies), lower amounts of sodium & cholesterol
|
|
Hypertensive emergency
|
Evidence of end-organ damage, rapid controlled reduction, parenteteral meds IV drugs used to quickly reduce BP
|
|
Hypertensive urgency
|
No evidence of end-organ damage, assess for sources & find etiology, 24-48 hr reduction
|
|
Orthostatic hypotension
|
Postural changes, caused by hypovolemia/blood loss, shock, drugs (alpha blockers that inhibit vasoconstriction), prolonged bedrest, heart failure (can't maintain CO), SCI (can't control peripheral constriction below injury)
|
|
Stable angina pectoris
|
Chest pain with activity, predictable, lasts 3-5 min, mild SNS stimulation, SOB, no infarction (cell death), supply & demand problem
|
|
Acute stable angina management
|
Rest (reduces demand), sublingual nitroglycerine (supply and demand)
