Hypertension

3. is a structural change in vessel walls that results
4. inhibitors oppose the activity of the RAAS and reduce blood pressure and protect target organs
6. salt is secreted in individuals with primary hypertension
7. overactivity contributes to salt and water retention and increased vascular resistance
9. is secreted from the Juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidney and contributes to primary hypertension
12. are a mainstay of hypertension
14. is caused by an increase in PVR or cardiac output

1. is also known as essential or idiopathic hypertension
2. risks include defects in renal sodium excretion, insulin sensitivity, and activity of SNS
5. of primary hypertension includes exercise, weight loss, reducing salt intake, and smoking cessation
8. and adaptive immunity activation promotes inflammation, damaging endothelial cells and decreasing nitric oxyde
10. is a contributing factor to primary Hypertension
11. hormones stimulate salt and water loss, contribute to arteriolar vasodilation, and reduce RAAS activation
13. dietary intake of magnesium, potassium, and calcium is a risk factor contributing to primary hypertension
