Study Notes
- Essential hypertension accounts for over 90% of high blood pressure cases, with unknown pathophysiology and genetic factors potentially playing a role.
- Secondary hypertension affects less than 10% of patients and can be caused by comorbid diseases or certain drugs/products, allowing for a cure by removing the underlying cause.
- Arterial blood pressure is measured in mm Hg and includes systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) values, with mean arterial pressure (MAP) being important in clinical settings, calculated as (SBP × 1/3) + (DBP × 2/3).
- Hormonal and neuronal regulation, along with cumulative abnormalities, can contribute to the development of essential hypertension.
- Clinical presentation of hypertension may not show symptoms but can have risk factors like age, diabetes, dyslipidemia, family history of CV disease, overweight, or obesity.
- Preventive programs for hypertension in Jordan are limited, with around one-third of Jordanian adults having hypertension, and awareness/control rates showing improvement but still room for enhancement.
- In Jordan, poor control of hypertension is attributed to inadequate management, lack of evidence-based practices, and poor medication adherence, with older patients showing better disease awareness and control.
- Hypertension complications globally contribute to millions of deaths annually, with a significant number of adults expected to suffer from hypertension-related complications by 2025.
