This Hypertension concept map aids in the understanding of primary symptoms and associated treatment in patients with high blood pressure. A hypertension concept map template depicts hypertension at various levels while explaining categories, diagnoses, and symptoms. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is characterized by persistently elevated blood vessel pressure. The vessels transport blood from the heart to all parts of the body. As illustrated, the heart, kidney, brain, and arterial blood vessels are prime targets of hypertensive damage. EdrawMind is the best mind mapping tool for creating the Hypertension concept map that you can later share among your peers.

Hypertension
Risk Factors
African American
Family History
Increased Age
Unhealthy sodium diet
Obesity
Tobacco Use
Excessive Alcohol Use
Pathophysiology
Renin-angio-aldosterone system overacts & causeswater and salt retention, leading to increased BP
Changes in sympathetic nervous system lead tovasoconstriction and therefore increased BP
Two main causes = increased blood volume, increased peripheral vascular resistance
Treatment
Anti-hypertensive medications
Dietery changes (low medium)
Exercise/Weight Loss
Smoking Cessation
Epidemiology
Prevalence increases with age
Over one third of Americans
More common in African Americans than other populations
Clinical Presentation
Elevated BP
Usually Asymtomatic
Symptoms arise from organs systemaffected by sustained hypertension
Diagnosis
Two elevated BP reading at least 2 minutes aparton 2 separate occasions
Person must be seated, arm at heart level, no caffeine or nicotine inprior 30 minutes
24 hour BP monitoring
CBC, UA, EKG
