Primary Hypertension no identifiable reversible cause Risk Factors • Sedentary lifestyle • Obesity • Insulin resistance • Metabolic syndrome • Aging • Alcohol • Vitamin-D deficiency
Primary Hypertension no identifiable reversible cause Risk Factors • Low birth-weight • Family history • Genetic • Na+ sensitivity • Sympathetic overactivity • Renin overactivity
Resistant Hypertension Failure to reduce blood pressure to the appropriate level after taking a 3-drug regimen including thiazide.
Lifestyle Changes Lifestyle advice (non-pharmacological control) Should be offered to the patient, before initiation of any drug therapy.
DASHdiet: (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) Rich in fruits & vegetables and low-fat or fat-free dairy foods. Healthy Diet Salt Restriction
Exercise More Exercise Reduce Stresses Weight Reduction
