Medical information for patients 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.

May 1995 COR PULMONALE IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE M. 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.

Return to top What causes cirrhosis? Cirrhosis is sometimes caused by hepatitis (an infection of the liver), or by eating or drinking harmful chemicals. The most common cause of cirrhosis is drinking too much alcohol. This is called alcoholic cirrhosis. Women who drink too much alcohol may be at greater risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis than men who drink too much. If you drink alcohol, you need to tell your family doctor so he or she can check for signs of cirrhosis, especially if you have any of the symptoms listed below. Return to top How will my doctor know if I have cirrhosis? Your doctor will ask if you have any of the following symptoms of cirrhosis: Abdominal swelling Fatigue (tiredness) Nausea Loss of appetite Unusual weight loss or weight gain Yellow coloring of the skin and eyes Dark urine Red palms Vomiting blood Menstrual problems (in women) If you have some or all of these symptoms and you are a regular or binge alcohol drinker (if you drink lots of alcohol at one time), you may have cirrhosis.

Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer Hypertension Life Threatening Risk Factor 1 Now Curable! Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer D-88045 Friedrichshafen, Germany 128 pages, practical guidance, reports of cured people; US$ 39. Hypertension - Now Curable! Hypertension is the risk factor No.1 for the main cause of death: The cardiovascular diseases. Every other person in USA, Canada, Europe and other countries dies of one of them: Heart attack, stroke, embolism, renal atrophy, and many other ailments. Meaning, it is also your personal risk factor No.1; a good reason to concern oneself with it. Most people think, it should be a task of responsible institutions, to take care of our health and to protect us. But something must be wrong; about 50% of the population and about 60 % of the physicians die of cardiovascular diseases. This doesn't conjure up much confidence in the usual therapies. The pilots' physicians know it: A hypertonic pilot remains grounded, in spite of usual therapy, because the risks remain the same ones. The usual therapy doesn't cure, because it only treats the symptoms, not the causes. The principle of this book is prevention and cure of diseases by health. Where a strong, natural healthy constitution shows up, many diseases and ailments just disappear, like nightmares do when the sun rises. The body has reasons, when elevating blood pressure. If they are eliminated, blood pressure normalizes without pills, and simultaneously you leave the cardiovascular risk zone. - The book is not cheap. It's not the paper and the binding, that makes the price. It's the knowledge about the fundamental secrets of natural health, that you acquire. To explore these secrets, the author spent more than 4 decades of intensive studies, experiments, and developments. If you compare the book price to your now avoidable diseases costs, and consider your chance of more life expectancy, you should find it the best investment you ever have for your life and health.

95. Pulmonary Hypertension PH, PPH, Congenital Heart Lung Defect, HELP Information about this 4 year old who has Pulmonary hypertension, a Congenital Heart Lung Defect. Heart lung transplant will be needed in the future. http://home-2.tiscali.nl/~rsmid/index.html

I am Roosje Smid - I have Pulminary Hypertension The girl you see on the picture is the almost 7 year old Roosje Smid, she has a unique congenital heart lung defect which results in a life threatening high blood pressure especially in the lung arteries. This defect is known as (Primary) Pulmonary Hypertension or PH / PPH . Today we know that Roos has Secondairy Pulmonary Hypertension. In Roos' case the defect is at least caused by the fact that the upper half of the arteries in the lungs that assimilate the oxygen from the air into the blood, have not been formed. Instead of these arteries extra (so called aberrant) arteries have been formed between the short and long blood circulation system, which is the cause for the high blood pressure in Roosjes lungs (around a factor of 4 above normal levels). Against this high pressure her heart has to work. It is beyond saying that eventually this little heart will lose this struggle. When this congenital defect was discovered at the age of 4 months, the lungs had already lost all their elasticity (compare this with an airballoon which had been filled with air for a long time) and the only hope was that her situation would remain stable - which it is up till today. The only thing which can save her today is a heart lung transplant, which is - of course - a very dangerous operation. However, the longer she will be able to fight this battle the further the medical sciences will develop and the better her future will be.

University of Iowa Family Practice Handbook, Fourth Edition, Chapter 3 Cardiology: Hypertension James M. Fox, MD Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine University of Iowa College of Medicine Peer Review Status: Externally Peer Reviewed by Mosby Overview Hypertension is defined as a sustained systolic blood pressure (SBP) of greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg or a sustained diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg. For patients with diabetes the goal is a SBP of 130 mm Hg and a DBP of 85 mm Hg. For patients with renal insufficiency (greater than 1 g of proteinuria in 24 hours) the goal is a SBP of 125 mm Hg and a DBP of 75 mm Hg. Before diagnosing an individual as hypertensive, one should document an elevated blood pressure on at least three occasions over a 2-week period. The patient should be free of stress at the time of the exam including being free of pain and anxiety (such as white coat hypertension). Use a cuff of the proper size (small size gives falsely elevated readings) and the arm should be resting comfortably on an armrest. If the results are still inconclusive, consider 24-hour ambulatory monitoring. Treatment of hypertension can reduce many of the complications such as CHF, nephropathy, and cerebrovascular events.

An estimated 28 million people worldwide, including 12.7 million in the U.S., take CCBs to lower high blood pressure, relieve angina pain or for other reasons. An analysis of nine randomized clinical trials, with a total of more than 27,000 patients, indicates that longer-acting CCBs are inferior to other proven and less expensive drugs in preventing the cardiovascular complications of hypertension.
