Case Study – Blood Pressure
© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Case Study – Blood Pressure William, a 5'6", 210 lb., 64-year-old male business executive had a physical exam prior to his retirement from corporate work. His blood pressure was >180/115 on three separate days. Further examination showed normal to low plasma renin activity, elevated peripheral resistance (PR), cardiac output (CO) of 7.2 L/min (normal approx 5L/min), x-ray evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, retinal hemorrhages, and mild polyuria. Recommended therapy was weight reduction to his ideal level, a low-salt diet (<2 gm/day sodium), prudent exercise, and a reduction in alcohol consumption (<3 oz whiskey/day). This change in lifestyle did little to change the condition. Medication was initiated in the form of an oral diuretic and progressed to a beta-blocker; eventually a vasodilator was included to reduce the blood pressure to <140/90.

Mean Arterial Pressure can be defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.

Pressure is generated as blood is pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta and distributing arteries. Mean Aterial Pressure (MAP) MAP = CO x PR (SVP-Systemic Vascular Resistance) Cardiac Output (CO) * The amount of blood pumped by HEART per minute (ml/min) ( 5 L/m rest; up to 21 L/min) * CO=SV x HR (e.g 70 ml/beat x 71 BPM = 4,970 ml/min) SV: Stroke volume of blood pumped w/ each heart beat HR: Heart rate or number of times heart beats per minute * CO changes w/ stress, anxiety, drugs, heart disease or body temp Peripheral Resistance (PR) * Opposition to flow through BLOOD VESSELS. It is an Index of friction or drag * Determined by: blood vessels diameter (the most significant regulator of blood flow) blood viscosity (doesn’t change much from moment to moment) viscosity with anemia, hypoproteinemia viscosity with polycythemia , dehydration blood vessel length (doesn’t change much from moment to moment) CVP – Central Venous Pressure Which is usually 0

Start Autoregulation HOMEOSTASIS
Autoregulation involves changes in the pattern of blood flow within capillary beds as precapillary sphincters open and close in response to chemical changes in the interstitial fluid. Factors that promote the dilation of blood vessels are called vasodilators. Local vasodilators such as lactic acid accelerate blood flow through their tissue of origin. HOMEOSTASIS RESTORED Local decrease in resistance and increase in blood flow HOMEOSTASIS Normal blood pressure and volume Local vasodilators released Inadequate local blood pressure and blood flow HOMEOSTASIS DISTURBED • Physical stress (trauma, high temperature) • Chemical changes (decreased O2 or pH, increased CO2) • Increased tissue activity Start
20
Central Regulation Central regulation involves both
neural and endocrine mechanisms. Activation of the cardiovascular center involves both the cardioacceleratory center (which stimulates the heart) and the vasomotor center (which controls the degree of peripheral vasoconstriction). Neural mechanisms elevate cardiac output and reduce blood flow to nonessential or inactive tissues. The primary vasoconstrictor involved in neural regulation is norepinephrine (NE). Endocrine mechanisms involve long-term increases in blood volume and blood pressure. Stimulation of receptors sensitive to changes in systemic blood pressure or chemistry Short-term elevation of blood pressure by sympathetic stimulation of the heart and peripheral vasoconstriction Activation of cardiovascular center Neural mechanisms Stimulation of endocrine response Long-term increase in blood volume and blood pressure Endocrine mechanisms If autoregulation is ineffective HOMEOSTASIS RESTORED

Case Study – Blood Pressure William, a 5'6", 210 lb., 64-year-old male business executive had a physical exam prior to his retirement from corporate work. His blood pressure was >180/115 on three separate days. Further examination showed normal to low plasma renin activity, elevated total peripheral resistance (TPR), cardiac output (CO) of 7.2 L/min (normal approx 5L/min), x-ray evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, retinal hemorrhages, and mild polyuria (hypertension causes excessive kidney filtration). Recommended therapy was weight reduction to his ideal level, a low-salt diet (<2 gm/day sodium), prudent exercise, and a reduction in alcohol consumption (<3 oz whiskey/day). This change in lifestyle did little to change the condition. Medication was initiated in the form of an oral diuretic (excess water excretion and lower blood volume) and progressed to a beta-blocker (blocks receptors for epinephrine and norepinephrine which slows down your heart rate and reduce the force of heart contraction, also blocks kidneys from producing a angiotensin II, reducing the amount of angiotensin so blood vessels relax and widen, making it easier for blood to flow through; eventually a vasodilator was included to reduce the blood pressure to <140/90.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Patent Ductus Arteriosus In patent (open) foramen ovale blood recirculates through pulmonary circuit instead of entering left ventricle The movement, driven by relatively high systemic pressure, is a “left-to-right shunt” Arterial oxygen content is normal, but left ventricle must work much harder than usual to provide adequate blood flow through systemic circuit © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 21-33 Congenital Heart Problems (Part 1 of 6).
Patent Foramen Ovale and Patent Ductus Arteriosus Patent ductus arteriosus If the foramen ovale remains open, or patent, blood recirculates through the pulmonary circuit instead of entering the left ventricle. The movement, driven by the relatively high systemic pressure, is called a “left-to-right shunt.” Arterial oxygen content is normal, but the left ventricle must work much harder than usual to provide adequate blood flow through the systemic circuit. Hence, pressures rise in the pulmonary circuit. If the pulmonary pressures rise enough, they may force blood into the systemic circuit through the ductus arteriosus. This condition—a patent ductus arteriosus—creates a “right-to-left shunt.” Because the circulating blood is not adequately oxygenated, it develops a deep red color. The skin then develops the blue tones typical of cyanosis and the infant is known as a “blue baby.” Patent foramen ovale

Tetralogy of Fallot Patent ductus arteriosus The tetralogy of Fallot (fa-LŌ) is a complex group of heart and circulatory defects that affect 0.10% of newborn infants. In this condition, (1) the pulmonary trunk is abnormally narrow (pulmonary stenosis), (2) the interventricular septum is incomplete, (3) the aorta originates where the interventricular septum normally ends, and (4) the right ventricle is enlarged and both ventricles thicken in response to the increased workload. Pulmonary stenosis Ventricular septal defect Enlarged right ventricle

Ventricular Septal Defect A ventricular septal defect is an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) between the left and right ventricles. It affects 0.12% of newborns. The opening between the two ventricles has an effect similar to a connection between the atria: When the more powerful left ventricle beats, it ejects blood into the right ventricle and pulmonary circuit.

Atrioventricular Septal Defect In an atrioventricular septal defect, both the atria and ventricles are incompletely separated. The results are quite variable, depending on the extent of the defect and the effects on the atrioventricular valves. This type of defect most commonly affects infants with Down’s syndrome, a disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. Atrial defect Ventricular defect

This figure summarizes some of the physiological relationships involved. Lymphatic Page 824 Respiratory The most extensive communication occurs between the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. Not only are the two systems physically interconnected, but cells of the lymphatic system also move from one part of the body to another within the vessels of the cardiovascular system. we examine the lymphatic system in detail, including its role in the immune response, in the next chapter.
