Introduction
Primary hypertension is a clinical
syndrome characterized by theincrease in systemic arterial pressure.

95% 0f the patients with hypertension areprimary hypertension with unknowncauses and 5% secondary hypertension
with definitive causes.

Hypertension affects approximately 1billion individual worldwide. In China theincidence of hypertension is about 180
million individuals.

Etiology and pathogenesis
Thepathogenesis of primaryhypertension is still unclear. There aremany factors associate with it.

Genetic factors
Sodium intake

Endothelial dysfunction
Insulin resistance Other factors

Genetic factors
The offsprings of the hypertensiveparents are prone to suffering fromessential hypertension compared with thatwithout hypertensive family.
7/31/2019 10hypertension-100510235019-phpapp01

Sodium intake
The mechanisms leading tohypertension are due to increased bloodvolume and the content of the sodium inthe smooth muscle cells enhance followingsubsequent calcium increase.

Sympathetic nervous activation
The activation of Sympathetic nervouscan augment periphery resistant which
increase systemicarterialpressure.

This is a result of ageing as well ashypertension : both processes thereforecause loss of the normal elastic reservoir
funtion of the aorta and large arteries.

This explains one curious feature ofelderly hypertensive patients. Diastolicblood pressure in patients with isolated
systolic hypertension is inversely related toprognosis.

Central nervous system
Cerebral infarction in a hypertensivepatient is usually attributable to atheromaof one of the larger cerebral arteries(usually the middle cerebral artery) andaccounts for about 80 percent of the
strokes which these patients suffer.

Lifestyle Modification
Weight reduction:
the trial of hypertension preventionproduced an average weight loss of 3.8
kg at 18 months, reduction of SBP andDBP by 2.9 and 2.3 mm Hg.
7/31/2019 10hypertension-100510235019-phpapp01

Exercise:
Following increased physical activity,BP falls up 6-7 mm Hg for both SBP and

Diuretics, Blockers, Calcium channel blockers,ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II receptorblockers can be used in onset and maintenanetherapy.
Diuretics combined with Blockers is notsuitable for metabolic syndrome or high-riskdiabetes patients.
