made by a Cambridge Reverend, Stephen Hales, in 1733. He measured blood pressure by inserting the end of a long glass tube into the carotid artery of a horse and noting that the
blood came up the tube to a height of nine feet eight inches, which was the blood pressure of
the horse.

It took Riva-Rocci, together with a Prussian general called Korotkoff, to develop the modern sphygmomanometer which was
introduced into clinical practice in about 1905. The device that probably many of us still use today to measure blood pressure has
changed very little from this early device.

Question: Is it important if the person’s
blood pressure is higher?
![Page 6: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

“Hypertension may be an important compensatory mechanism which should not be tampered with, even were it certain that we could control it.”White PD, 1931
“The greatest danger to a man with high blood pressure lies in its discovery, because then some fool is certain to try to reduce it.”Hay J, 1931

Franklin D. Roosevelt ( FDR ) was referred to Dr. Howard Bruenn, a cardiologist at Bethesda Naval Hospital who, on March 27, 1944 found him cyanotic, breathless, with an enlarged left ventricle and a blood pressure of 186/108. Bruenn diagnosed hypertensive heart disease and wanted to give digitalis, but was prohibited by Dr. Ross McIntire, the president's personal physician and then surgeon-general of the U.S. Navy.
“Franklin D. Roosevelt’s health was excellent”!?- 1944

The next day, FDR developed moist rales at the base of the right lung. By March 30, Bruenn diagnosed congestive heart failure. On the next day, digitalis was begun.
By April 3, FDR was better. His color was better, he could lie flat without dyspnea, and the crackles disappeared from both lungs. His blood pressure, however, was 210/110.
“Franklin D. Roosevelt’s health was excellent”!?- 1944

The nation was stunned when FDR died unexpectedly on April 12, 1945 -- less than six months after being elected to a fourth term in office. The death was unexpected because the president's personal physician, VADM Ross McIntire, whenever asked, had proclaimed that FDR's health was excellent.

Definition of Hypertension
Hypertension is a clinical syndrome, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg.
Hypertension should be considered a major risk factor for an array of cardiovascular and related disease as well as diseases leading to a marked increase in cardiovascular risk.

Question: What is etiology of hypertension?
![Page 23: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Etiology of Hypertension Genetic factors play an important role.
Children with one- or two-hypertensive parents have higher blood pressures.
Environmental factors also are significant. Increased salt intake has long been incriminated as a pathogenic factor in essential hypertension. It alone is probably not sufficient to elevate blood pressure to abnormal levels; a combination of too much salt plus a genetic predisposition is required.
![Page 24: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

26
Question: How about the pathogenesis in
hypertension is ?
![Page 27: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Pathogenesis The pathogenesis of essential
hypertension is multifactorial. Sympathetic nervous system
hyperactivity. It is most apparent in younger hypertensives, who may exhibit tachycardia and an elevated cardiac output. However, correlations between plasma catecholamines and blood pressure are poor.
![Page 28: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Pathogenesis Renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Renin
acts on angiotensinogen to cleave of the ten-amino-acid peptide angiotensin I. This peptide is then acted upon by angiotensin-converting enzyme to create the eight-amino-acid peptide angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor and a major stimulant of aldosterone release from the adrenal glands.
![Page 29: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Pathogenesis
Defect of natriuresis. Hypertensive patients exhibit a diminished ability to excrete a sodium load. This defect may result in increased plasma volume and hypertension.
![Page 30: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Pathogenesis
Intracellular sodium and calcium. An increase in intracellular Na+ may lead to increased intracellular Ca2 + concentrations as a result of facilitated exchange. This could explain the increase in vascular smooth muscle tone.
![Page 31: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Pathogenesis Exacerbating factors. The best-documented
is obesity, which is associated with an increase in intravascular volume and an elevated cardiac output. Some hypertensives respond to high salt intake with substantial blood pressure increases. Excessive use of alcohol also raises blood pressure. Cigarette smoking acutely raises blood pressure.
![Page 32: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Question: Which pathologic changes will be
happen in hypertension ?
![Page 33: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Pathology
Heart.
Left ventricular hypertrophy may cause or facilitate many cardiac complications of hypertension, including congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, and sudden death.
![Page 34: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Pathology
Brain.
Hypertension is the major predisposing cause of stroke, especially intracerebral hemorrhage but also ischemic cerebral infarction.
![Page 35: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Pathology
Kidney.
Chronic hypertension leads to nephrosclerosis, a common cause of renal insufficiency.

Question: How to know the patient with
hypertension?
![Page 37: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Clinical Findings
Symptoms: Elevations in pressure are often
intermittent early. Even in established case, the blood pressure fluctuates widely in response to emotional stress and physical activity.
![Page 38: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Clinical Findings
Symptoms: Mild to moderated essential
hypertension is usually associated with normal health and well-being for many years.
![Page 39: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Clinical Findings
Symptoms: Suboccipital pulsating headaches,
but any type of headache, may occur. Accelerated hypertension is associated with somnolence, confusion, palpitation.
![Page 40: Cecil Medicine Section VIII Chapter 66](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681482b550346895db54d9e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Signs: High blood pressure.
Physical findings depend upon the duration and severity, and the degree of effect on target organs.
A loud aortic second sound and an early systolic ejection click may occur.

Stratification of CV Risk
Stratification of CV Risk in four categories. SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; CV: Cardiovascular events; HT: hypertension. Low, moderate, high and very high risk refer to 10 year risk of a CV fatal or non-fatal event. The term “added” indicates that in all categories risk is greater than average. OD: subclinical organ damage; MS: metabolic syndrome. The dashed line indicates how definition of hypertension may be variable, depending on the level of total CV risk.

Stratification of CV Risk
Stratification of CV Risk in four categories. SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; CV: Cardiovascular events; HT: hypertension. Low, moderate, high and very high risk refer to 10 year risk of a CV fatal or non-fatal event. The term “added” indicates that in all categories risk is greater than average. OD: subclinical organ damage; MS: metabolic syndrome. The dashed line indicates how definition of hypertension may be variable, depending on the level of total CV risk.

When to initiate antihypertensive treatment
Based on two criteria: -The level of systolic and diastolic
blood pressure -The level of total cardiovascular
risk

62
Choice of antihypertensive drugs
Five major classes of antihypertensive agents – thiazide diuretics, calcium antagonists, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor antagonists and β-blockers – are suitable for the initiation and maintenance of antihypertensive treatment, alone or in combination.

Monotherapy versus combination therapy
Monotherapy could be the initial treatment for a mild BP elevation with a low or moderate total cardiovascular risk.

64
Monotherapy versus combination therapy
A combination of two drugs at low doses should be preferred as first step treatment when initial BP is in the grade 2 or 3 range or total cardiovascular risk is high or very high.

65
Monotherapy versus combination therapy
In several patients BP control is not achieved by two drugs, and a combination of three of more drugs is required.
