Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

452
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

338
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

3.9K
Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System

1.4K
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.
Raynaud's disease, also known as Raynaud's...

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output

2.4K
Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure01:17

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure

5.8K
Endocrinal or hormonal intervention in the cardiovascular system is predominantly exerted by the catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine, as well as a slew of hormones that interact with renal function to modulate blood volume.
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Workplace Wellness

Background:

  • White-collar work environments can impact employee health.
  • Understanding hemodynamic responses is crucial for managing occupational stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the hemodynamic responses of white-collar workers during working hours.
  • To investigate cardiovascular changes on both working and non-working days.

Main Methods:

  • Two investigations were conducted at a communication center.
  • Hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, cardiac output, heart rate, stroke volume, total peripheral resistance) were measured in 55 workers.
  • Measurements were taken during working hours and across a full day on working and non-working days.

Main Results:

  • Blood pressure increased and remained elevated during working hours.
  • Hemodynamic mechanisms for maintaining blood pressure shifted from morning to afternoon on workdays.
  • Cardiac responses, indicative of cardiac burden, increased in the afternoon on working days.

Conclusions:

  • Work-related cardiovascular burden in white-collar workers increases in the afternoon.
  • Considering underlying hemodynamic responses is vital for effective management of occupational cardiovascular strain.
