|---|
| normal BP ranges | 100/60 139/89 |
| systolic pressure | determined by force of L ventricle ejects |
| diastolic | pressure during ventricular relaxation |
| essential hypertension | sustained BP w/no known cause |
| secondary hypertension | BP that results from or is 2nd to another disease |
| hypertension S&S | asymptyomatic, silent killer, throbbing h/a, dizzy |
| goals for hypertension | lower BP, prevent further complications |
| diagnostic findings | EKG, Echo, Chest X-Rays, BP diary, renal function test |
