Definition
80 to 89 mmHg for greater than 2 weeks
Term
systolic pressure of Stage 1 hypertension
Definition
140 to 159 mmHg for greater than 2 weeks
Term
diastolic pressure of Stage 1 hypertension
Definition
90 to 99 mmHg for greater than 2 weeks
Term
systolic pressure of Stage 2 hypertension
Definition
160 mmHg or higher for greater than 2 weeks
Term
diastolic pressure of Stage 2 hypertension
Definition

Term
essential/primary hypertension
Definition
direct dysfunction of cardiovascular system; cause is generally unknown
Term
secondary hypertension
Definition
condition that affects cardiovascular system
Term
treatment of hypertension
Definition
1) change of lifestyle
2) beta blockers
3) alpha blockers
4) calcium channel blockers
5) diuretics
6) ACE inhibitors
Term
function of beta blockers
Definition
inhibit beta receptors of cardiac conduction system and cardiac muscle
Term
function of alpha blockers
Definition
inhibit alpha receptors of vascular smooth muscle
Term
function of calcium channel blockers
Definition
inhibit calcium channels of cardiac conduction system, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle
Term
function of diuretics
Definition
cause excretion of fluids from body
Term
function of ACE inhibitors
Definition
inhibit production of angiotensin II
Term
effect of beta blockers
Definition
decreases heart rate and heart contractility which decreases cardiac output
Term
effect of alpha blockers
Definition
decreases peripheral resistance which causes vasodilation
Term
effect of calcium channel blockers
Definition
decreases heart rate, heart contractility, and peripheral resistance
Term
effect of diuretics
Definition
decreases blood volume
Term
effect of ACE inhibitors
Definition
decrease peripheral resistance and blood volume
Term
treatment of hypotension: pressors that increase blood pressure
Definition
1) epinephrine
2) dopamine
3) phenylephrine
4) vasopressin
Term
epinephrine (description)
Definition
β-agonist and α-agonist
Term
effect of β-agonist of epinephrine
Definition
increase heart rate and heart contractility which increases cardiac output
Term
effect of α-agonist of epinephrine
Definition
increase peripheral resistance which causes vasoconstriction
Term
dopamine (description)
Definition
β-agonist (medium doses)
β-agonist and α-agonist (high doses)
Term
effect of β-agonist of dopamine
Definition
increases heart rate and contractility which increases cardiac output
Term
effect of β-agonist and α-agonist of dopamine
Definition
increases heart rate, contractility, and peripheral resistance
Term
phenylephrine (description)
Definition
α-agonist
Term
effect of α-agonist of phenylephrine
Definition
increases peripheral resistance which causes vasoconstriction
Term
vasopressin (description)
Definition
increases blood volume and α-agonist
Term
effect of α-agonist of vasopressin
Definition
increases peripheral resistance which causes vasoconstriction
