Pathophysiology
of Hypertension

5.
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
• Hypertension is the chronic elevation of blood
pressure that, in the long-term, causes end-organ
damage and results in increased morbidity and
mortality.
• Occurs due to the abnormal functioning of the
arterial pressure related to the central nervous
system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,
endothelial dysfunction, genes and even due to
certain environmental factors.

6.
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
• Factors which contribute to the development of
hypertension are:
 Aging
 Genetics
 Obesity
 Smoking
 Salt Sensitivity
 High Frequent Alcohol Consumption
 High Fat Diet
 Low Fiber Diet
• Normal blood Pressure is calculated as: 120/80 in
healthy adults.

7.
Pathophysiology of
Hypertension
• Resting Blood Pressure ≥ 140/90 on two separate
occasions in an individual is characterized as either
Stage I or Stage II Hypertension.
• Resting Blood Pressure ≥ 130/80 in diabetic patients
increases their risk for the development of heart
disease.

Recognition of

Interaction

19.
Recognition of Diet/ Drug
Interaction
• High intakes of salt in the diet increases the excretion
of Potassium while taking hydrochlorothaizde can
lead to development of hypokalemia
• High intakes of Caffeine while taking
hydrochlorothaizde can lead to a strong diuretic
effect on the body thereby leading to dehydration
• Untreated dehydration can lead to heart injury,
cerebral edema, kidney failure, hypovolemic shock
and even death.

250mg/dL, LDL of 135mg/dL and HDL of 35mg/dL.
• Altered metabolic status (hyper) related to high salt
and fat intake, family history of hypertension as
evidenced by blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg
and death of patient’s mother from MI related to
uncontrolled hypertension.

26.

Calcium) related to low dietary intake as
evidenced by dietary intake of 81.1% Potassium
and 84.2% Calcium.
• Low adherence to nutrition recommendations
related to patient’s low adherence to a 4mg sodium
diet as evidence by chief complaint of foods being
bland and tasteless.
