This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: New Hypertension CMAP, Acute Stress Increases Causes sympathetic stimulation Vascular Smooth Muscle, Hypertension HTN Causes Abnormal Arteries, Vascular Smooth Muscle vasoconstricts Arterial/Venous Diameter, Treatment JNC 8 Recommended Treatment Hydrochlorothiazide (Thiazide Diuretic), Calcium Channel Blockers (also target the heart) ???? Vascular Smooth Muscle, CNS: Vasomoter Center Causes sympathetic stimulation Heart, Adrenal Cortex releases Aldosterone, CARDIAC OUTPUT increases Blood Pressure, Hypertension BP Readings Hypertensive, Contractility increases CARDIAC OUTPUT, 2 BP Readings Reading #2 185/99 mmHg, Lisinopril (Ace inhibitor) ???? Inhibits ACE in the RAS system, Patient Case Non-Pharmacological Treatment Physical Exercise, Hypertension HTN Causes Excess Salt, Kidneys: salt/water balance affects Blood volume, increasing preload, Patient Case Patient Current Medications, Diltiazem (Calcium Channel Blocker) Counseling Avoid Alcohol while taking this drug, Mechanical stress and endothelial damage increases Blood Pressure, Arteries stiffen with age, leading to greater resistance increases Blood Pressure, Propranolol (Beta Blocker) ???? Inhibit beta 1 receptors, which decrease HR and CO
