    The document discusses the pathophysiology of hypertension. It notes that risk factors include diabetes, older age, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, stress, saturated fats, and alcohol. It then outlines the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, where the kidneys release renin which triggers a chain reaction that leads to vasoconstriction, increased blood volume, and higher blood pressure, resulting in hypertension.

    PATHPYSHIOLOGY

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF HYPERTENSION (THEORETICAL BASED)

    Risk factors:

    DM
    Advanced Age
    Smoking
    Obesity
    Sedentary lifestyle
    Stress
    High intake of saturated fats
    alcohol

    Kidney release into


    the bloodstream

    Renin helps liver


    convert angiotensin I
    Aldosterone:
    Causes Na and Angiotensin II
    H2O retention
    so the blood
    volume is Angiotensin I is conveted to angiotensin II (patent vasocnonstrictor)
    increased! In the lungs

    Arteriolar constriction then increased


    peripheral vascular resistance.

    Increased blood pressure


    and vascular resistance to
    hypertension!
