Exam 3: Hypertension Basics

Blood pressure is the single most modifiable risk factor to prevent [blank_start]cardiovascular disease[blank_end].

Heart disease associated with hypertension leads to ___% of deaths,

Elevated blood pressure is a systolic reading between [blank_start]120[blank_end]-[blank_start]129[blank_end] mmHg and a diastolic reading under [blank_start]80[blank_end] mmHg.

Hypertension stage one is a systolic reading between [blank_start]130[blank_end]-[blank_start]139[blank_end] mmHg and a diastolic reading between [blank_start]80[blank_end]-[blank_start]89[blank_end] mmHg.

[blank_start]Blood pressure[blank_end] is the force exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels.

Systemic vascular resistance can be lowered by:

Select the factors that would put a patient at an increased risk for high blood pressure:

Select symptoms of hypertension:

Select the two organs that would experience the highest frequency of consequences from hypertension:

Hypertension medication should be taken as prescribed, even if asymptomatic.

For every kilogram of weight loss, how much will blood pressure typically drop by?

Hypertension stage 2 is a systolic reading over or equal to [blank_start]140[blank_end] mmHg and a diastolic reading over or equal to [blank_start]90[blank_end] mmHg.

A normal blood pressure is a systolic reading under [blank_start]120[blank_end] mmHg and a diastolic reading under [blank_start]80[blank_end] mmHg.

When the GFR [blank_start]drops[blank_end], kidneys trigger the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands.

Check off options that are correlated with alpha1:

Check off the options that are associated with beta2

Select the options that are associated with beta1:

Peripheral blood vessels vasoconstrict when this is stimulated.

Coronary arteries vasoconstrict when this is stimulated.

Peripheral blood vessels vasodilate when this is stimulated.

Select the occurrences that are associated with Beta1:
