TCM Hospital: Arterial Hypertension And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China Systemic arterial hypertension is defined as elevated arterial blood pressure, with systolic pressure over 160 mmHG and /or diastolic pressure over 95mmHG. Blood pressure that is consistently 140 mmHG systolic and/or 90mmHg diastolic or higher is considered border line hypertensions. Hypertension is usually of two types: primary and secondary. Essential, or primary, hypertension is systemic arterial hypertension of unknown cause; 90 to 95 percent of systemic hypertension cases fall under this category. Secondary hypertension is elevated systemic blood pressure of known cause; five to ten percent of systemic hypertension cases are of this type. In this article, we discuss only the traditional diagnosis and treatment of essential hypertension. In traditional Chinese medicine, essential hypertension is included in the syndromes of headache and dizziness due to interior injury.

62. High Blood Pressure hypertension. If either or both numbers are equal to or greater than 140 over 90 for an extended period of time, you have high blood pressure, or hypertension. http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/healthy/pressure.html

Hypertension There is no "ideal" blood pressure reading. However, there is a range of "normal" blood pressure reading. Generally, a reading that is less than 140 over 90 indicates that you don't need to worry. If either or both numbers are equal to or greater than 140 over 90 for an extended period of time, you have high blood pressure, or hypertension. Hypertension is dangerous because it causes the heart to work extra hard. This strain contributes to heart attacks and stroke. When the heart is forced to work extra hard for an extended period of time, it tends to enlarge. A slightly enlarged heart can function well, but a significantly enlarged heart cannot. High blood pressure also causes damage to the arteries, causing arterial disease Hypertension can be treated. Mild cases of hypertension can be treated through behavior modification like changing diet and increasing exercise . More severe cases of hypertension require medications like diuretics and beta blockers. Diuretics rid the body of excess fluids and salt. Beta blockers reduce the heart rate and the heart's output of blood. Understanding Hypertension American Society of Hypertension Back to Heart Disease

index search health books site map Hypertension (high blood pressure) Hypertension, or high blood pressure, refers to a condition in which the blood pumps around the body at too high a pressure. Background In order for a liquid to move forwards there must be a pressure pushing it. This applies especially in the body as part of the circulation of the blood is uphill ie against gravity. Thus everybody's blood is pumped around at a pressure and this pressure varies from person to person, and in a single person at different times of day and under different circumstances. The blood pressure is usually lower when resting or sleeping and needs to be higher during activity. The level that is accepted as "normal" for blood pressure is one which falls within a range based on the average blood pressure of the majority of people. The normal range slowly rises as people grow older. Symptoms Hypertension usually causes no noticeable symptoms in itself, but can lead to damage to various organs in the body if the blood pressure remains up for a long time. Over years it can lead to damage to the heart and blood vessels, making it more likely that the individual will develop a stroke or heart attack. Occasionally, especially when the blood pressure is extremely high, the individual may experience headaches, dizziness, or alterations in vision.

Jawaid Akhtar, MRCP(UK), FRCP(Ire); Sulaiman Al-Majed, FRCP(C) From the Divisions of Cardiology (Dr. Akhtar) and Chest (Dr. Al-Majed), Department of Medicine, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh. Address reprint requests and correspondence to Dr. Akhtar: Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine (38), College of Medicine, King Saud University, P.O. Box 2925, Riyadh 11461, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 10 August 1994. Pulmonary hypertension is rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) although pulmonary involvement occurs in about 50%. Pulmonary hypertension without obvious pulmonary infiltration is even rarer, the mechanism of which is unclear. We report here a case of SLE who presented with severe pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale without any evidence of parenchymal lung disease. Case Report The patient was a 19-year-old Saudi female who was admitted to King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh with a two-year history of dyspnea, easy fatigability, palpitations, anorexia, loss of weight, dry cough and episodic attacks of fever every three to four months with night sweats for the last two years. Five days prior to admission she developed pain in various large and small joints with swelling in interphalangeal and right wrist joints and described features of Raynaud's phenomenon. Chest roentgenogram showed cardiomegaly with prominent pulmonary conus. No lung infiltrate was noticed. High resolution computed tomography (CT) scan was not done. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed an enlarged liver with mild ascites. Pulmonary function test revealed a restrictive pattern with decreased diffusion lung capacity. Ventilation/perfusion scan of the lungs did not reveal any evidence of pulmonary embolism. Cross-sectional echocardiography and Doppler studies revealed significant enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle with dilated pulmonary artery and moderate degree of pericardial effusion. Moderate tricuspid incompetence was also detected.

Advanced Search Hypertension Treatment and the Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in the Elderly MARVIN MOSER, M.D. Yale University School of Medicine New Haven, Connecticut T he aging of the U.S. population has raised concerns about the social and economic resources that may be necessary to manage the growing number of elderly persons with cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease is the major cause of death in both elderly men and elderly women. Hypertension, either systolic/diastolic or isolated systolic, is considered a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Treatment of isolated systolic hypertension or systolic/diastolic hypertension in elderly patients is associated with a reduction in adverse coronary outcomes. As late as the 1970s, the prevailing medical opinion was to ignore elevated blood pressures in the elderly, even though epidemiologic data demonstrated the age-related risk of coronary heart disease as a result of hypertension. Into the 1980s many physicians still did not believe that antihypertensive drugs could improve outcome in the elderly, despite abundant data from several clinical trials.
