| | Arterial Hypertension--High Blood Pressure |
 | | Malignant hypertension (or accelerated hypertension) is distinct as a late phase in the condition, and may present with headaches, blurred vision and end-organ damage. | | | Unfortunately these actions are easier to suggest than to achieve and most patients with moderate or severe hypertension end up requiring indefinite drug therapy to bring their blood pressure down to a safe level. | | | Which type of medication to use initially for hypertension has been the subject of several large studies. |

| | THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 16, Ch. 199, Arterial Hypertension |
| | The benefit of drug therapy for patients with stage 1 hypertension is unequivocal. | | | Although angiotensin is generally acknowledged to be responsible for renovascular hypertension (see below), at least in the early phase, there is no consensus regarding the role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in patients with primary hypertension, even in those with high PRA. | | | There are no data on the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy for borderline hypertension. |

| | Arnett D - Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension |
| | The arterial stiffness indices for a given individual are defined as the ratio of the change in intraluminal pressure to change in the arterial diameter over the cardiac cycle. | | | All hypertensives at baseline were excluded from the analysis, and the incidence of hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication. | | | It uses the arterial pulse contour to provide an assessment of the large artery (capacitance) behavior and the behavior of smaller arteries that represent the primary source of reflected waves or oscillations in the arterial system. |

| | The classic finding on a chest radiograph from a patient with PAH is enlargement of central pulmonary arteries, attenuation of peripheral vessels, and oligemic lung fields. | | | Ongoing clinical trials may prove the benefit of vasodilator therapy in patients with various forms of pulmonary hypertension. | | | These pathological changes are the result of long-standing hypertension rather than a consequence of different causes. |

| | ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION - ABC Salutaris |
| | Arterial pressure is the force with which the heart pumps the blood that exits it and the resistance the blood encounters to circulate in the body. | | | The heart’s an effective pump that beats 60 to 80 times per minute all life long and propels 5 to 6 liters of blood per minute to the whole body. | | | Occasional pressure elevations can occur with physical exercises, anxiety, drugs, food, smoking, alcohol and coffee. |

| | On the PA chest radiograph, a transverse diameter of the right descending pulmonary artery of 17 mm or greater is a reliable indicator of PPH. | | | Irreversible morphologic changes in the pulmonary vascular bed lead to progressive clinical decompensation including cor pulmonale and cardiac failure. | | | Cardiac catheterization in these patients shows a pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than or equal to 30 mmHg. |
