How hypertension occur?
Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls is too high. Basically, the blood flow that your heart is pumping is being forced through instead of going through naturally.
What does hypertension do to the heart?
Hypertension is a condition of increased blood pressure. This increased pressure on the heart causes eventual weakening of the heart muscle, and places the individual at greater risk of eventual heart faillure.
Why hypertension in tension pneumothorax?
Hypertension in tension pneumothorax occurs due to increased intrathoracic pressure, which compresses the major vascular structures, particularly the superior and inferior vena cava. This compression hinders venous return to the heart, leading to decreased cardiac output and compensatory mechanisms that can cause reflex tachycardia and hypertension. Additionally, the body's stress response to the acute situation releases catecholamines, further elevating blood pressure. Prompt intervention is critical to relieve the pressure and restore normal hemodynamics.
What does hypertension attack?
Hypertension can cause damage to your heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes and brain
Whats a cause of heart disease?
hypertension
Can bradycardia and hypertension occur concurrently?
Yes. In the Cushing's reflex, which is due to traumatic head injury resulting in an increased intracranial pressure, the body exhibits what is called the CNS ischemic response. This response is due to activation of both the sympathetic nervous system (which constricts veins and arterioles to increase both peripheral resistance and increase venous return to the heart) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which acts to slow the heart rate by overriding sympathetic stimulation on the heart). This results in a concurrent bradycardia and hypertension
What dangers are in hypertension?
Hypertension is a medical condition also known as high blood pressure. The dangers of hypertension are increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
What age does hypertension occur in?
It occurs at thirty-five or older.
Hypertension is a major contributor to what?
Stroke and heart disease
Enlargement of the heart caused by hypertension is a result of?
hypertrophy
What are the release dates for What Happens Next - 2007 Hypertension and Heart Attack?
What Happens Next - 2007 Hypertension and Heart Attack was released on: USA: 6 March 2008
What is another term for heart failure?
Another term for heart failure is congestive heart failure (CHF). This condition occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body. It can result from various underlying conditions, such as coronary artery disease or hypertension.
