25 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 25
Sustained uncontrolled hypertension can result in which of the following life-threatening
complications?
CVA
encephalopathy
cardiac failure
all of the above
Term 2 of 25
How is insulin resistance related to the development of primary hypertension?
Stroke
When a cerebral artery ruptures, there is hemorrhage into the brain, leading to a
hemorrhagic stroke. In addition, blood flow to the corresponding area of the brain is
interrupted. The resulting ischemia and tissue death is called infarct, or stroke.
Insulin resistance activates the sympathetic nervous system, contributes to the
development of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and eventually atherosclerosis, and promotes
thrombus formation
Insulin resistance contributes to increases in SNS activity, peripheral resistance, endothelial
injury and thrombus formation.
Falls
Orthostatic hypotension is often accompanied by dizziness and fainting, which can lead to
head injuries or bone fractures from falls.
Vascular remodeling
Over time, prolonged vasoconstriction can result in permanent remodeling of blood vessel
walls.
, Term 3 of 25
Secondary hypertension is caused by
environmental factors like pollution and noise exposure
psychological stress leading to hormonal imbalances
genetic mutations affecting blood pressure regulation
altered hemodynamics associated with a primary disease such as atherosclerosis or renal
failure.
Term 4 of 25
Clinical manifestations of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower leg include:
pain and edema in the affected limb
muscle paralysis
reduced pulse in foot
skin pallor in the area of thrombosis
Term 5 of 25
Why is myocardial ischemia usually reversible within 20 minutes of interruption of coronary blood
flow?
collateral blood flow to the myocardium can maintain the myocardium for 20 minutes
anaerobic metabolism maintains cellular integrity for approximately 20 minutes
it takes 20 minutes for neutrophils and macrophages to arrive and activate inflammation
the heart stores approximately 20 minutes worth of oxygen supply in the myoglobin
