What determines blood pressure? |
Cardiac output x peripheral resistance |
|
What makes up cardiac output |
Stroke volume and heart rate |
|
What makes up peripheral resistence? |
Viscosity x length/ radius |
|
What makes MAP increase |

|
How does HTN damage the heart? |
HTN increases afterload, which is the amount of strength needed for the left ventricle to push blood into the aorta. This leads to heart failure. |
|
How does HTN damage blood vessels? |
Atherosclerosis, thromboemboli, cerebral hemorrhage, MI, aneurysm |
|
How does HTN damage the kidneys? |
Is damages the Glomerulus which leads to protein urea (protein in the urine). |
|
What does HTN do to eyes? |
Obscured vision |
|
HTN contributors |
Genetics, aging, ethnicity. Also, men and African Americans have a higher risk. |

|
What does C1 inhibitor do to bradykinin? |
C1 inhibitor inhibits kallikrein which makes bradykinin. If there isn’t enough C1 inhibitors, then there will be a lot of bradykinin. |

|
Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) mechanism |
When blood osmolarity is high (blood is too salty) ADH is released and increases water reabsorption in the kidneys. When BP is too low, ADH is released and vasoconstricts. |
