Systemic Hypertension
Systemic blood pressure measures 140/90 mm Hg or
higher onat least two occasions a
minimum of 1 to 2 weeks apart
Systemic hypertension is the most common circulatory derangementin the United States, affecting about 30% of adults
Hypertensionis a significant risk factor for the development of ischemic heart disease and a major cause of congestive heartfailure , cerebrovascular accident (stroke), arterialaneurysm, and end-stage renal disease
The pulse pressure—that is, the difference between the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure—is emerging as a new marker of the degree of vascular stiffness.Increased pulse pressure is a cardiovascular risk factor, and some studies have linked an increased pulse pressure with intraoperative hemodynamic instability and adverse postoperativeoutcomes.
PathophysiologySystemic hypertension is
characterized as essential or primary hypertension when a cause for the increased blood pressure cannot be identified.It is termed secondary hypertension when an identifiable cause is present.
Hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and obesity often occur concomitantly, and an estimated 40% of patients with hypertension also have hypercholesterolemia
Alcohol and tobacco use are associated with an increased incidence of essential hypertension 30% of hypertensive patients manifest obstructive sleep apnea
The standard goal of therapy for essential hypertension is to decrease systemic blood pressure to less than 140/90 mmHg. In the presence of concurrent diabetes mellitus or renal disease, current guidelines (JNC 7) recommend lowering theblood pressure to less than 130/80 mm Hg, but this is somewhat controversial
Treatment of Essential Hypertension
LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY
1. include weight reduction or prevention of weight gain,
2. moderation of alcohol intake,3. increase in physical activity,4. adherence to recommendations
for dietary calcium and potassium intake
5. moderation in dietary salt intake
Smoking cessation is critical, because smoking is an independent
riskfactor for cardiovascular disease.
Weight loss may be the most efficacious of all
nonpharmacologicinterventions in the treatment of
hypertension.
Patients with concomitant risk factors 1. hypercholesterolemia2. diabetes mellitus 3. tobacco use4. family history of hypertension5. age >60 years6. evidence of target organ damage7. angina pectoris8. prior myocardial infarction 9. left ventricular hypertrophy10. cerebrovascular disease 11.nephropathy12. retinopathy13.peripheral vascular disease
Treatment of Secondary Hypertension
SURGICAL THERAPY
PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY
Hypertensive Crises
Hypertensive crises typically present with a blood pressure of more than
180/120 mm Hg and can be categorized as either a hypertensive
urgency or a hypertensive emergency, based on the presence
or absence of impending or progressive targetorgan damage.
HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY
Patients with evidence of acute or ongoing target organ damage1. encephalopathy2. intracerebral hemorrhage3.acute left ventricular failure
with pulmonary edema4. unstable angina5.dissecting aortic aneurysm6.acute myocardial infarction7.eclampsia8. microangiopathic hemolytic
anemia9. renal insufficiency
HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY
Hypertensive urgencies are situations in which the blood pressure is severely elevated,
but the patient is not exhibiting evidence of target
organ damage
the subset of patients who manifest anxiety-related hypertension are likely to have exaggerated pressor responses to direct laryngoscopy and are more likely than others to develop perioperative myocardial ischemia orto require antihypertensive therapy during the perioperativeperiod.
End-organ damage (angina pectoris, left ventricular hypertrophy,congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease,stroke, peripheral vascular disease, renal insufficiency) should be evaluated preoperatively.
Patients with essential hypertensionshould be presumed to have ischemic heart disease until proven otherwise. Renal insufficiency secondary to chronic hypertension is a marker of a widespread hypertensive diseaseprocess
It is useful to review the pharmacology and potential sideeffects of the drugs being used for antihypertensive therapy.
