Arterial blood pressure is represented in two numbers in the form of a fraction. a. What is the name of the blood pressure represented in the upper number, and what does it represents?
Pre hypertension:
entre 120-139 mmHg
HTN etapa 1 sistolica
HTN etapa 1 entre 140-159 mmHg (HTN benigna)
What is the name of the blood pressure represented in the lower number, and what does it represents?
Presión diastólica- Cuando corazón se relaja Valor normal entre 60-79mm Hg Pre hypertension: entre 80-89 mmHg HTN etapa 1 entre 90-99 mmHg (HTN benigna) HTN etapa 2 entre 100-109mmHg (HTN Benigna) HTN etapa 3 mayor o igual 110mmHg (HTN maligna)
HTN Etapa 2 sistolica
HTN etapa 2 entre 160-179mmHg(HTN benigna) 🙂👍🏻
HTN Etapa 3 sístole ☠️☠️☠️
HTN etapa 3 entre mayor igual a 180mmHg (HTN maligna) ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
What is the name of the blood pressure represented in the lower number, and what does it represents?
Etapas HTN Diastolica
a. Etapa 1 está entre: 140 y 159 mmHg para la sistólica y entre 90 y 99 para la diastólica. b. Etapa 2 está entre: 160 y 179 mmHg para la sistólica y entre 100 y 109 para la diastólica. c. Etapa 3 está por encima de 180 mmHg para la sistólica 110 para la diastólica.
What is benign hypertension?
HTN Benigna cuando el paciente está en etapa 1 o 2: Suelen no causar síntomas inmediatos.
4-What is malignant hypertension?

8-What is the JNC 7 BP classification.
a. La presión arterial sistólica normal debe estar entre 90 y 119 mmHg y b. la diastólica entre 60 y 79 mmHg.
La prehipertensión, o presión arterial un poco más alta de lo normal
Es la presión entre 120 y 139 mmHg para la sistólica y entre 80 y 89 mmHg para la diastólica.
Habitualmente cuando sube la sistólica la diastólica lo acompaña, de no ser así y una sola es la que aumenta recibe el nombre es:
Hipertensión sistólica aislada o hipertensión diastólica aislada.
First line of prevention and the recommendations (question 11)
DASH DIET
The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a dietary pattern promoted by the U.S.-based National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (part of the National Institutes of Health, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) to prevent and control hypertension. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The diet is simple: Eat more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods. Cut back on foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and trans fats.
sodium reduction to
The recommendations included consuming no more than 2400 mg/d; however, further reduction to 1500 mg/d is desirable because this is associated with greater BP reduction.
Excersise
In general, to lower BP, average of 40 min of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity, 3 to 4 times per week. 150 min por week

JNC 7 BP Classification BP Classification SBP and DBP
Normal SBP < 120 and DBP < 80 Prehypertension SBP 120-139 or DBP 80-89 Stage 1 hypertension SBP 140-159 or DBP 90-99 Stage 2 hypertension SBP 160 or DBP 100
Recommendations in the New Guidelines There are 9 recommendations in the JNC 8 guidelines.
Recommendations 1 through 5 address BP threshold and goals, recommendations 6 through 8 deal with the choice of antihypertensive drugs, and recommendation 9 is a summary of strategies based on expert opinion in starting and adding antihypertensive drugs
Recommendation 1 General population JNC8 Grade A (strong recommendation)
Recommendation 1: In the general population, for those > or equal to 60 years old, a) pharmacologic therapy is initiated to lower SBP of 150 mm Hg or b) DBP of 90 mm Hg; and c) to treat to a goal of SBP 150 mm Hg or DBP 90 mm Hg A corollary recommendation: In the general population, for those > or equal to 60 years old, if drug therapy to treat high BP results in lower achieved SBP (eg, < 140 mm Hg) and treatment is well tolerated and without adverse effects on health or quality of life, treatment does not need to be adjusted.
Recommendation 1 General population JNC8 Grade A (strong recommendation)
Recommendation 1: In the general population, for those equal or more than 60 years old, a) pharmacologic therapy is initiated to lower SBP ≥ 150 mm Hg or b) DBP of ≥ 90 mm Hg; and c) to treat to a goal of SBP < or equal 150 mm Hg or DBP equal or < 90 mm Hg A corollary recommendation: In the general population, for those > or equal to 60 years old, if drug therapy to treat high BP results in lower achieved SBP (eg, < 140 mm Hg) and treatment is well tolerated and without adverse effects on health or quality of life, treatment does not need to be adjusted.
