1.3. Classification of hypertension

– Classification by degree: As above table

– Classification by cause

+ Primary hypertension: no cause of high blood pressure can be found, then it is called hypertension.

+ Secondary hypertension: high blood pressure is only a symptom of diseases in other organs (acute or chronic nephritis, Cushing's syndrome, hypercalcemia, aortic stenosis), this type accounts for 11 - 15% of all cases of hypertension.


1.4. Pathogenesis of primary hypertension

The two basic factors that determine blood pressure are cardiac output and peripheral resistance. These two factors depend on many other factors, namely: the activity of the nervous system, adrenal cortex and medulla, ADH hormone, muscle condition, vascular wall, salt balance, specifically:

+ Cardiac output is affected by stroke volume and heart rate (heart rate), while stroke volume depends on myocardial contractility and heart rate.

Myocardial contractility: the heart contracts strongly, stroke volume increases and cardiac output increases, blood pressure increases.

Heart rate: heart beats slowly, stroke volume does not increase and cardiac output decreases, blood pressure decreases. Heart beats fast, stroke volume does not increase, but cardiac output still increases, blood pressure increases. However, when the heart beats > 140 times/minute short diastole, blood does not return to the heart in time, stroke volume decreases and cardiac output decreases, so blood pressure decreases.

+ Mechanism of increasing cardiac output and increasing peripheral vascular resistance

When the amount of Na + entering the body is higher than the amount of Na + excreted increases circulating fluid volume, increases cardiac output.

Renin-angiotensin system: this system plays a major role in regulating blood pressure and sodium balance. In essential hypertension, there is always an increased activity of this system leading to:

• Causes rapid and strong constriction of arterioles and veins, increasing peripheral resistance. Venoconstriction also causes more blood to return to the heart (increasing cardiac output).

• Reduces salt and water excretion (retains Na + ), increases circulating volume,

increased cardiac output, increased blood pressure.

The role of stress: stress (psychological) directly stimulates the sympathetic nerves secretes catecholamine, increases the heart's contractility, increases heart rate (ie increases cardiac output). Catecholamine also causes constriction of efferent arterioles and hypertrophy of blood vessel walls increases peripheral resistance.

An important factor in high blood pressure is narrowing of the small arteries and capillaries, in most cases the cause is not found. Therefore, drugs must be used to act on the stages of the blood pressure regulation mechanism to dilate blood vessels, reduce cardiac output, leading to lower blood pressure (see figure).

* All drugs used to treat high blood pressure are symptomatic drugs (some drugs are presented in the related article section)

2. Drugs for treating high blood pressure

2.1. Classification

Based on the location or mechanism of action, drugs are divided into the following 5 types:

Diuretics (reduce circulating volume): see diuretics

Sympatholytic drugs.

+ Central - destroying drugs

+ Ganglione blockers Reduce heart rate and reduce peripheral vascular resistance

+ β- blockers (See autonomic nervous system article)

+ - destroying drugs

Direct vasodilators

+ Arterial dilators

+ Arterial and venous dilators

Calcium channel blockers

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

This article only introduces drugs that have not been mentioned in previous articles.

2.2. Calcium channel blockers

2.2.1. Physiological role of Ca ++ on the cardiovascular system

In the heart muscle, Ca ++ binds to troponin, eliminating the inhibitory effect of troponin on contractile function, so actin filaments can interact with myosin to cause heart muscle contraction.

On vascular smooth muscle, when intracellular Ca ++ increases, it will form a complex with calmodulin, this complex activates protein - kinase, promoting the interaction between actin and myosin causing contraction of vascular smooth muscle.

2.2.2. Pharmacokinetics : absorbed orally and metabolized first-pass through the liver. Currently, functional groups in the formula have been changed to slow down drug metabolism. Therefore, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation drugs have been created.

2.2.3. Mechanism of action : the drugs bind mainly to calcium channels (L channels are abundant in the heart muscle and vascular smooth muscle) to block calcium channels, inhibit Ca ++ from entering heart muscle cells and vascular smooth muscle cells dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.

2.2.4. Effects on organs

On smooth muscle: relaxes smooth muscle of the airways - bronchi, digestive tract, uterus, especially smooth muscle of vascular walls (arterial capillaries are more sensitive than venous capillaries).

On the heart muscle: reduces impulse generation, reduces conduction and reduces myocardial contractionreduces myocardial oxygen demand, so it should be used to treat angina (especially due to coronary spasm).

Cerebral vessels: nimodipine has high affinity for cerebral vessels, used for patients with cerebrovascular accidents such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (but the result is due to cerebral vasodilation or reduced oxygen demand of neurons is unclear).

2.2.5. Undesirable effects

Mild: hot flashes, headache, dizziness (due to vasodilation reflex, increased heart rate), nausea, constipation.

More severe: slow heartbeat, atrioventricular block, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrest..., due to strong inhibition of Ca ++ channels (rare).

2.2.6. Indication

Treatment of hypertension (currently considered a safe and effective group of drugs for patients)

Treatment of localized angina (due to coronary spasm), this is the main mechanism of angina.

Due to the effect of reducing atrioventricular conduction, verapamil and diltiazem are also indicated in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.
