S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

All right, the next section deals with hypertension,

0:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and hypertension basically is an increase in blood pressure.

0:05

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now,

0:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

it's important to recall that when we have hypertension,

0:08

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

that can involve either the pulmonary circuit or the systemic circuit,

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

so we have two independent circuits in the body,

0:14

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and either one can develop high blood pressure.

0:16

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

We will talk about pulmonary hypertension,

0:18

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

however, we'll do that in Chapter 9.

0:20

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So at this particular point,

0:22

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

we're focused on the systemic circuit,

0:24

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and we're talking about systemic hypertension or systemic high blood pressure.

0:28

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now, systemic hypertension is defined as blood pressure greater than 140

0:32

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

over 90.

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

This definition changes on occasion,

0:36

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

but it's a pretty good baseline number to be familiar with.

0:39

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

When we think about this definition of hypertension,

0:42

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

with this number we can define about 25 % of the U .S.

0:46

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

population as hypertensive.

0:47

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Recall that the normal blood pressure is less than 120 over 80,

0:51

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and so if anyone's greater than 140 over 90,

0:54

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

we would then classify them as hypertension.

0:57

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Usually when patients have hypertension,

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

both the systolic and the diastolic pressures are increased.

1:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

You can have isolated increases in systolic or diastolic

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

pressure and that would also qualify as hypertension.

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Remember that when we have systemic hypertension,

1:11

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

we can divide it based on the etiology into primary

1:15

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and secondary hypertension.

1:17

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

In primary hypertension,

1:19

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

we don't know the etiology.

1:21

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

It basically represents about 95 % of cases.

1:25

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And because we don't understand the etiology,

1:27

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

the only thing we can really talk about are the risk factors.

1:30

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so there are some specific risk factors that are related to primary

1:34

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

hypertension.

1:35

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

For example,

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

age is an important risk factor.

1:37

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

We know that as patients age or as people age,

1:40

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

hypertension becomes much more prevalent within the society.

1:44

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Race is also an important risk factor.

1:46

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

There's a much higher risk in African Americans,

1:49

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and there's a relatively lower risk in Asians.

1:52

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Obesity,

1:53

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

obviously, is a risk factor.

1:54

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

We're all well aware of that.

1:55

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Stress is thought to be a risk factor,

1:57

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

lack of physical activity,

1:59

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and a high salt diet.

2:01

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now,

2:01

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

when you think about high salt,

2:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

remember that your systemic blood pressure is a function of your stroke volume,

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and the diastolic blood pressure is actually a function of the total

2:10

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

peripheral resistance.

2:12

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And sodium,

2:13

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

interestingly, actually increases both the blood volume and the total peripheral

2:18

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

resistance.

2:19

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so sodium has an effect on both the systolic and the diastolic blood

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

pressures.

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Secondary hypertension,

2:25

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

on the other hand,

2:26

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

is due to an identifiable cause.

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

It only makes up for about 5 % of cases of hypertension.

2:31

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

One classic cause among many is renal artery stenosis.

2:35

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And the idea here...

2:37

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

is that if this is the aorta and this is the renal artery,

2:41

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

if you have stenosis of the renal artery so that there's

2:45

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

less blood flow going through the renal artery,

2:48

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

then that low blood flow would decrease blood flow to the glomerulus.

2:53

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Recall that the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the glomerulus will respond by

2:57

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

secreting renin,

2:58

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1.

3:01

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Of course,

3:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

angiotensin 1 then goes to the vasculature of the lung

3:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and gets converted to angiotensin 2 by angiotensin converting enzyme.

3:10

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Angiotensin 2 does two things to raise the blood pressure,

3:14

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

so it's kind of conveniently named.

3:16

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Again,

3:16

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

angiotensin 2...

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

There's two things to raise the blood pressure.

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Number one,

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

it directly contracts arterial or smooth muscle.

3:23

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So that increases the peripheral resistance.

3:27

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so that's the first way by which it raises blood pressure.

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And the second thing that angiotensin II does is that it promotes adrenal release

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

of aldosterone.

3:36

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Of course,

3:37

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

aldosterone then goes to the distal convoluted

3:41

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

tubule, and it increases resorption of sodium.

3:44

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Basically, it grabs sodium and dumps potassium.

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And when it grabs sodium,

3:48

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

eventually water will follow,

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

expanding the plasma volume.

3:51

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So angiotensin II raises the blood pressure by directly contracting arteriolar

3:56

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

smooth muscle and by promoting release of aldosterone from the adrenal,

4:00

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

which will then grab sodium from the distal convoluted tubule and eventually

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

expand the plasma volume.

4:05

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So this is a very important physiologic relationship to be aware of.

4:09

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

It's very high yield for examinations.

4:11

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now,

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

of course, if you've got renal artery stenosis,

4:13

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

then you're activating the juxtaglomerular apparatus,

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

so you're going to be releasing a ton of renin.

4:19

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so in patients with secondary hypertension,

4:21

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

you often see an increase in the plasma renin.

4:25

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And if you look at both kidneys,

4:27

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

usually the stenosis is going to involve one kidney.

4:30

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And when it involves one kidney,

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

there's going to be a decrease in blood flow across that kidney.

4:34

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so this particular kidney will become smaller.

4:37

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

And so you'll have unilateral atrophy of the affected kidney in

4:41

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

renal artery stenosis.

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

What can cause renal artery stenosis?

4:44

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

There's two very high yield causes to be familiar with.

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

The first would be atherosclerosis,

4:50

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and this is what we would classically see in an elderly male.

4:53

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So atherosclerosis can cause stenosis of the renal artery and decrease the

4:57

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

blood supply that's going to the kidney.

4:59

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

The other way by which we can get renal artery stenosis,

5:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

at least classically,

5:03

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

is something called fibromuscular dysplasia.

5:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

This is a developmental defect of the blood vessel wall.

5:09

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

It results in irregular thickening of large and medium -sized arteries,

5:13

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

especially the renal artery,

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and it's classically seen in young females.

5:18

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So renal artery stenosis in an elderly male,

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

you think about atherosclerosis,

5:22

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and renal artery stenosis in a young female,

5:24

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

you think about fibromuscular dysplasia.

5:27

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now, we can separately classify hypertension as benign or

5:31

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

malignant as well,

5:32

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

so this would be another way to look at hypertension.

5:34

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

In benign hypertension,

5:36

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

we have a mild or moderate elevation in blood pressure,

5:39

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and most cases of hypertension are actually benign.

5:41

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

This is clinically silent,

5:43

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and it damages vessels and organs over time,

5:47

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and we'll discuss some of that damage as we move forward in this particular chapter.

5:51

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Malignant hypertension,

5:52

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

on the other hand,

5:53

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

is a severe increase in blood pressure,

5:56

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

characteristically greater than 200 over 120,

5:59

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and this can arise in one of two ways.

6:02

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

It can either arise in a patient who has pre -existing benign hypertension,

6:06

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

for example,

6:08

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

the patient's got some long -standing hypertension and all of a sudden develops malignant

6:12

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

hypertension, but it can also arise de novo in that the patient doesn't even have

6:16

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

to have a history of hypertension.

6:17

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

They can simply present with malignant hypertension.

6:21

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Patients with malignant hypertension are gonna present with acute end organ damage,

6:25

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

classically with acute renal failure,

6:27

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

headache and papilledema,

6:29

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and of course this is a medical emergency.

6:31

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

Now remember that patients who have severe hypertension,

6:34

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

they can develop fibrinoid necrosis of the blood vessel wall,

6:37

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

and we talked about that in chapter one.

6:39

S… Speaker 1 (7.2 Hypertension)

So that concludes our discussion on hypertension.
