HYPERTENSION:
Hypertension can be defined as:
A sustained rise in blood pressure.
It is a condition in which the arteries have persistently high blood pressure, making harder for the heart to pump blood in the vessels.
Basically it has 2 main components; the SYSTOLIC and the DIASTOLIC blood pressure.
![Page 3: Drugs used in hypertension](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5492e194b47959d1218b466c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Parameters on which blood pressure depends
Cardiac output Total Peripheral Resistance SYSTOLIC BP DIASTOLIC BP
> Stroke Volume And Heart Rate
Preload: Preload can be defined as the initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes prior to contraction (EDV)Afterload: Afterload is the load against which the heart has to pump(TPR)

PHARMACOLOGICAL WAYS TO TREAT HYPERTENSION
> Centrally acting sympatholytic drugs> Ganglionic Blockers> Sympathetic Nerve Ending Blockers> Adrenergic Receptor Blockers a) Alpha 1 blockers b) Beta blockers c) Mixed blockers> Direct Vasodilators> Calcium Channel Blockers> Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors >Angiotensin Receptor Blockers >Renin Inhibitor> Diuretics

Centrally acting sympatholytic drugs:
Clonidine:Advantage: Used in Hypertension when other drugs have not responded adequately.Disadvantage: Sedation, Depression, rebound hypertension on withdrawal
Alpha-Methyl Dopa: Advantage: Used in Hypertension when other drugs have not responded adequately. Has less effects on FETUS so can be used in pregnancy.Disadvantage: Sedation, Depression, causes hematologic immunotoxicity (making coomb’s test +ve)

Sympathetic Nerve Ending Blockers:
Guanethidine: Replaces norepinephrine in the vesicle and itself acts as false neurotransmitter.Disadvantage: Orthostatic Hypotension.Reserpine: Reserpine irreversibly blocks the Vesicular monoamine transporter. This normally transports free amine neurotransmitters from the cytoplasm of the presynaptic nerve terminal into storage vesicles.Disadvantage: Depression of CNSMetyrosine: Makes the Tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme dysfunctional.Disadvantage: Diarrhea, Trembling of hands and fingers

Adrenergic Receptor Blockers
A) Alpha blockers: Selectives: Prazosine, terazosinAdverse Effect: Orthostatic HypotensionNon-Selectives: Phenoxybenzamine, PhentolamineAdverse Effect: Tachycardia, Palpitation
B) Beta blockers :Selectives: Metoprolol, AtenololAdverse Effect: Dizziness, Drowsiness, Fatigue, DiarrheaNon-Selectives: PropranololAdverse Effect: Drowsiness, Sedation, Asthma
![Page 11: Drugs used in hypertension](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5492e194b47959d1218b466c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
C) Mixed blockers:Acting on Alpha as well as on Beta receptors.
Labetolol, Carvidolol, BucindololAdverse Effects: Drowsiness, Fatigue, Insomnia, Orthostatic Hypotension
NOTE: Nebivolol is a newer beta blocker with some direct vasodilator actionRelatively very less adverse effects and is highly cardioselective !!!

Vasodilators
Hydralazine: Acts primarily on the arteries and arterioles.>Advantage: Accepted method for controlling blood pressure in pregnant hypertensives.>Disadvantage: Almost always causes reflex tachycardia.
Minoxidil: Dilates resistance vessels>Advantage: Used in hypertension refractive to other drugs. Other use is causing hypertrichosis>Disadvantage: Fluid retention, Reflex Tachycardia

Diuretics
Advantage: Effective in controlling blood pressure in long term. Controls BP in Supine as well as standing positions so postural hypotension doesn’t occur.
> Loop Diuretics : Furosamide> Thiazides : Hydrochlorothiazide> Potassium Sparing Diuretics : Amiloride, Spironolactone
Disadvantage: Of Thiazides include, hypokalemia, hyperuricemia; Of Loop Diuretics include, Ototoxicity;Of Potassium Sparing group include, Gastric upsets, Gynecomastia in males, Menstrual irregularities in females.

TREATMENT PLANS
> Diuretics are very effective in Elderly patients, Blacks, Inexpensive and can be used for Prolonged maintenance.> Beta Blockers are wonderful if the patient also has supraventricular tachycardia and/ Angina and/ MI and/Migraine.> Beta blockers and ACE inhibitors are very effective in white and young hypertensives.> Vasodilating drugs cause salt and water retention and cardiostimulatory effects.> Hydralazine should be used with diuretics and beta blockers.> Alpha Blockers always cause postural hypotension.

New Antihypertensive Drugs
>Monatepil, a dual alpha-receptor and calcium channel blocker, has potent antihypertensive effect, lowers serum cholesterol and also has antiatherosclerotic effect.
>Dual ACE and endopeptidase inhibitor, such as alatriopril, has a "broad spectrum" antihypertensive effect and may be effective in majority of hypertensive patients.
Many other are under clinical testing and not yet approved .. !

NON PHARMACOLOGICAL WAYS TO TREAT HYPERTENSION
> Physical Exercise> Weight loss> Salt Restriction> Avoid Smoking> Reducing Alcohol Consumption> Relaxation techniques> K+ rich diets> Red meat should be avoided
