PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

A condition in which blood pressure is elevated above that which is deemed to be normal. The primary factor is an increase in peripheral resistance to the moveable column of blood due to constriction of the blood vessels or narrowing of the lumen due to various causes.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Hypertension is usually thought of as either benign, where the basic disease process gradually progresses to a state of being malignant; or malignant, which usually is associated with heart, vascular or renal disease. The alarm reaction to stress will elevate blood pressure through retention of sodium and water and increasing the quantity of total blood volume. In other cases, the lumen of the arteries become smaller when plugged with cholesterol or calcium deposits embedded in scar tissue. Usually a number of factors are involved in each case.

TREATMENT:

The goal to be achieved in treating hypertension is not only to reduce high blood pressure but to repair and rebuild tissue damage in heart, blood vessels, kidney and brain.
