2. Sympathetic Nervous System Overactivity idiopathically, epinephrine flight or fight,
genetic
RAAS hyperactivity: Renin-Agitension2- aldosterone system when low BP, BV --> Kidney
make vasoconstriction to Increase BV, BP by Angiotensin 2
HTN s/s- ANSWER 1. Cardiovascular system: Workload is up on LV

3. Neurological system: Brain- stroke (high BP, Ischemic pain in narrowed arterials);
Eyes: ischemic and damage retina
Aneurysms s/s - - ANSWER 1. localize dilation and out-punching or ballooning the
arterial walls
