Bealer Rm 408C BPRB 7-7706 steve.bealer@deans.pharm.utah.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended reading: Katzung, 9th Ed.; Chap. 11 (pg. 160-183) Goodman and Gilman, 11th Ed.; Chap. 30 Renin and angiotensin; pp. 789-822 Chap. 33 Therapy for Hypertension; pp. 871-900 Online; www.AccessMedicine.com

  2. Objectives: • Know mechanisms of blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular pathophysiology which chronically increase blood pressure (Review). • Understand types and etiologies of major forms of clinical hypertension. • General treatment strategy for hypertension. • Know major classes of anti-hypertensive agents, their general sites and mechanisms of action. • Identify specific, widely used, antihypertensive agents, sites of action, mechanisms of action, indications and contraindications. • Understand strategies for hypertension management associated with other pathologies.

  3. Stroke Kidney Failure Heart Attack Hypertension: The Silent Killer CRITICAL POINT! Hypertension- asymptomatic Morbidity and mortality due to end organ damage

  4. Determinants of Arterial Pressure Blood Volume Mean Arterial Pressure = X Arteriolar Diameter Stroke Volume Heart Rate CRITICAL POINT! Change any physical factors controlling CO and/or TPR and MAP can be altered. Contractility Filling Pressure Blood Volume VenousTone

  5. 1. Neural SymNS PSNS 2.Hormonal Renal Ang II Adrenal Catecholamines Aldosterone 3. Local Factors Artery Vein Mechanisms Controlling CO and TPR CRITICAL POINTS! 1. These organ systems and mechanisms control physical factors of CO and TPR 2. Therefore, they are the targets of antihypertensive therapy.

  6. Summary-Types and Etiology of Hypertension 1. White coat hypertension office or environmental 2. Secondary hypertension- due to specific organ pathology 1. renal artery stenosis 2. pheochromocytoma 3. aortic coarctation 4. adrenal tumor 3. Essential Hypertension No known cause. CRITICAL POINT! Pharmacological Therapy used primarily for essential hypertension.

  7. 1. Diagnosis- 3- 6 independent measurements. 2. Determination of primary vs. secondary hypertension. 3. If secondary, treat underlying pathology. Summary General Treatment Strategy of Hypertension 4. If primary, initiate lifestyle changes smoking cessation weight loss diet stress reduction less alcohol etc. 5. Pharmacological treatment. CRITICAL POINTS! Goal- normalize pressure- decrease CO and/or TPR Strategy- alter volume, cardiac and/or VSM function

  31. Summary Important Points Hypertensive Agents Each class of antihypertensive agent: 1. has as specific mechanism of action, 2. acts at one or more major organ systems, 3. on a major physiological regulator of blood pressure, 4. reduces CO and/or TPR to lower blood pressure, 5. has specific indications, contraindications, and therapeutic advantages and disadvantages associated with the mechanism of action.

  32. Baroreflexes • MAP= set point • Reflexes defend set point • Arterial Baroreflexes • Pressure/Natriuresis • Change in MAP opposed by reflex response to maintain set pressure. • Hypertension- pressure resets to higher level-defended by reflex systems. CRITICAL POINT! **Multiple therapies often needed to block reflex compensation. CO X SVR= MAP
