Hypertension Part 1 – 1. General Review of CV System
Is the right heart or left heart more concerning in terms of heart failure? Why?
left heart=
systemic-venous system
right heart-pulmonary only arterial -

Name the heart valves associated with each:
Left atrium -> Left Ventricle: mitral value
Right atrium -> Right Ventricle: tricuspid valve
Left ventricle -> Aorta: aortic value
Right ventricle -> Pulmonary Artery: Pulmonary value
What would dysfunction in left atrium -> left ventricle cause?
Reduced Cardiac output (Co) -

Differentiate between capillaries in the following tissues:
Endocrine, small intestine, kidney: leaky holes vary size free passage up to 600nm
,
in -
Skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle: Free passage up to lonm
Brain: Tight junctions between endothelial cells little passive transport except water
- and CO2
Describe venules and veins: lower pressure ↳ less chance for
things to get in brain + cause CNS
values prevent backflow effects
More pliable venous tone influences venous return to the 8

What is blood pressure? Pressure in arterial wall
Systolic (systole)
to
:
pressure in arteries when heart beats =
or lower is considered
Diastolic normal
:
pressure between beats/rest (diastole)
What is the issue with manual BP measurements? Describe the principles behind BP

What is the benefit of intermittent high blood pressure?

1.2 High Blood Pressure/Hypertension
Is high blood pressure a disease itself? Why or why not? If not, why do we care about it?
No It is not a disease itself but is a risk factor for diseases
other of the Clu system such as

↳ consistent high
Intermittent : needed for E-no consequences on body/vessels

Spreadings
What are the two main consequences of high blood pressure that result in damage?
- Increased afterload
- arterial damage
What are some of the other consequences of sustained hypertension?
-
left ventricularSystolic dysfunction (LVSD)-decreased Co due to poor contraction
hard-muscle increases
hypertrophy (LVH)-left constantly working
ventricle in size

left ventricular

Diastolic dysfunction-ventricles
-

Describe afterload. How can afterload be affected without the presence of high BP?
Afterload is the increase in resistance
against blood expulsion
High blood pressure can cause increase in afterload
(very common cause
Other heart conditions such
,
as aortic value Stenosis ,
can cause increased
afterload wout presence of
high blood pressure
Healthy blood vessel walls are lined with a blanket of _____________
endothelial ______.
cells What happens to
this structure with damage from high BP? Which diseases are arteries vulnerable to due to this
damage/dysfunction?
BP
Endothelial cells are
damaged from high
Without endothelial cells present , arteries are susceptible

plaque buildup) and

The Kidney
How can the kidney play a role in HTN?
Fails to eliminate fluid -> builds up in vessels > -
bp increased
How is edema different from volume in vessels?
Edema is leakage of
lymph into tissues
What do diuretics do?
Increase fluid excretion
-> increase urine production
Distal Tubule , Proximal Tubule and
contribute
,
Ascending loop of henle all
to fluid relention In the nephron
Why is sodium absorption a part of our physiology if too much Na+ is a problem in diets?
Because previously ,
Nat was not
heavily in diets so our bodies needed a
Mechanism to reabsorb Nat as it is essential for electrical gradients and action potentials
Where are the three locations that Na+ reabsorption happens?
Distal Tubule
Proximal Tubule
of Henle
Ascending Loop
Describe what normal kidney function looks like:
-
fillers 120 mL/min into tubules
-
makes Urine at 1mL/min
-
Over 99 % of filtered fluid is reabsorbed
↳ Nat is major driver
How is sodium handled in different parts of the kidney?
Proximal Tubule reabsorbs 65 % of filtered Nat > No diuretics
target this
system
-
-
loop reabsorbs 25 % of filtered Nat
Ascending of Henle
-
small amount of Nat reabsorbed at distal tubule
>
very Afferent arteriolet ascending
-
Macula densa Senses [Na] in nephron that senses [Nat] in nephron
-
results in vasoconstriction via afferent arteriole vasoconstriction
