LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Defenition of Hypertension
Hypertension can be defined as an increase in blood pressure above normal or
persistent blood pressure where the systolic pressure is above 140 mmHg and diastolic
pressure above 90 mmHg. In the elderly population, hypertension is defined as 160 mmHg
systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg.
Hypertension is a major cause of heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure. Called a
"silent killer" because people with hypertension often do not show symptoms. Half of
people with hypertension are unaware of their condition. Once the disease is suffered, the
patient's blood pressure should be monitored at regular intervals because hypertension is a
lifelong condition.
B. Etiology of Hypertension
Based on the etiology of hypertension is divided into two groups, namely:
1. Essential hypertension or primary hypertension
This hypertension is an unknown hypertension or also called idiopathic
hypertension. There are 95% of cases (Smeltzer & Bare, 2001). Many factors affect it,
such as gender, genetics, age, environment, reninangiotensin system and autonomic
nervous system.Other factors include smoking, excessive salt intake, alcohol, obesity,
stress and lack of exercise / physical activity. (Lauralee, 2001; in Rahman, 2011).
2. Secondary Hypertension
This hypertension is present in about 5% of all hypertensive prevalence. Specific
causes are known, for example; kidney disease (acute glomerulonephritis, chronic
nephritis, poliartritis disease, diabetes nephropathy), endocrine diseases
(hypothyroidism, hypercalcemia, acromegaly), coarctationaorta, hypertension in
pregnancy, neurological disorders, drugs and other substances (Lauralee, 2001; 2011).
From statistical data proved that a person will have greater possibility to get
hypertension if her parents are hypertension sufferers.
2. Individual characteristics
2. Obesity, associated with high insulin levels that result in increased blood
pressure.
3. Environmental Stress.
4. Elasticity of tissue loss and arterisklerosis in the elderly and dilation of blood
vessels.
3. The ability of the heart to pump blood decreases by 1% every year after
the age of 20 years the ability of the heart to pump blood decreases
causing decreased contraction and volume.
4. Loss of elasticity of blood vessels This happens because of the
effectiveness of peripheral blood vessels for oxygenation
C. Pathophysiology Hypertension
According to Smeltzer & Bare (2002: 898) says that the mechanisms that control
the constriction and relaxation of blood vessels lie at the vasomotor center of the medulla
oblongata in the brain from which the vasomotor begins the sympathetic nerve that
continues down the spinal cord and exits from the medulla column to the sympathetic
ganglia torax and abdomen, vasomotor center stimulation is delivered in the form of an
impulse that moves downward through the sympathetic nervous system. At this ganglion
point the preganglion neuron releases acetylcholine which stimulates the post-ganglion
nerve fibers to the blood vessels, which by releasing norepinephrine results in
constriction of the blood vessels.
Factors such as anxiety and fear may affect the vascular response to
vasoconstrictive stimuli causing vasoconstriction of blood vessels due to blood flow to
the kidneys to decrease or decrease and result in the production of renin, renin will
stimulate the formation of angiostensin I which is then converted to angiostensin II
which is a powerful vasoconstrictor which stimulates aldosterone secretion by the
adrenal cortex wherein this aldosterone hormone causes sodium and water retention by
the renal tubules and causes an increase in intra vascular fluid volume that causes
hypertension.
The occurrence of hypertension can be caused by several factors as follows:
1. Cardiac output and peripheral resistance
E. Diagnostic Procedure
1. Laboratory Examination:
a. Hb or Ht: to examine the relationship of cells to fluid volume (viscosity) and may
indicate risk factors such as: hypokoagulability and anemia
b. BUN or creatinine: provides information about perfusion or kidney function
c. Glucose: Hyperglycemia (DM is the originator of hypertension) can be caused by
expulsion of ketokolamin levels. Hypertension accompanied by diabetes or diabetes
with hypertension can pose a risk to important organs. Therefore monitoring is
required for blood glucose levels
d. Urinalysis: examined in blood, protein, glucose, indicating dysfunction in the
kidneys and presence of DM
1. Nonpharmacology therapy
Applying a healthy lifestyle for everyone is very important to prevent high
blood pressure and is an important part in the treatment of hypertension. All patients
with prehypertension and hypertension should make lifestyle changes. Visible changes
to lower blood pressure can be seen in Table 4 in accordance with the recommendations
of JNC VII. In addition to lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension,
lifestyle modification can also reduce the onset of blood pressure to hypertension in
patients with prehypertensive blood pressure.12 Important lifestyle modifications seen
to lower blood pressure are weight loss for obese individuals or fat; adopting a Dietary
Approach to Stop Hypertension diet rich in potassium and calcium; low-sodium diet;
physical activity; and consume only a small amount of alcohol. In some patients with
good blood pressure control with antihypertensive drug therapy; reducing salt and
weight can relieve patients from using drugs. 10 Acceptable diet programs are those
designed to slowly lose weight in obese and obese patients with sodium and alcohol
intake restrictions. This requires education to the patient, and moral encouragement.
The following facts can be told to patients to understand the rationality of dietary
interventions:
a. Hypertension 2 - 3 times more often in obese people than people with ideal body
weight
b. More than 60% of patients with hypertension are obese (overweight)
c. Weight loss, with just 10 pounds (4.5 kg) can lower blood pressure significantly in
obese people
d. Abdominal obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome, which is also a
precursor of hypertension and insulin resistant syndrome that can progress to type
2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and subsequently to cardiovascular disease.
e. Diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat can lower blood pressure
in individuals with hypertension.
f. Although there are hypertensive patients who are insensitive to salt, most patients
experience systolic blood pressure reduction with sodium restriction.
JNC VII recommends diet DASH is a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, and dairy
products redah fat with total fat and saturated fat is reduced. Recommended sodium <2.4 g
(100 mEq) / day. Physical activity can lower blood pressure. Regular aerobic exercise for
at least 30 minutes / day several days per week is ideal for most patients. Studies show that
aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, walking, and using a bicycle, can lower
blood pressure.
This advantage can occur even without weight loss. Patients should consult with a
doctor to find out which type of exercise is best especially for patients with target organ
damage. Smoking is a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Hypertensive patients who smoke should be counseled in relation to other risks that
smoking may cause.
2. Pharmacological Therapy
There are 9 classes of antihypertensive drugs. Diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and calcium
antagonists are considered the main antihypertensive drugs. These drugs either alone or in
combination, should be used to treat the majority of patients with hypertension because
evidence shows benefits with this class of drugs. Some of these classes of drugs (eg
diuretics and calcium antagonists) have subclasses where significant differences from the
study are seen in work mechanism, clinical use or side effects. Alpha blockers, 2-central
alpha agonists, adrenergic inhibitors, and vasodilators are used as an alternative medicine
in certain patients in addition to the main drug.
Evidence-based medicine is a treatment based on the best evidence available in
making decisions when choosing a drug consciously, clearly, and wisely on each patient
and / or illness. Evidence-based practices for hypertension include choosing specific drugs
based on data showing decreased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity or target organ
damage due to hypertension. Scientific evidence suggests that simply lowering blood
pressure, tolerability, and cost alone can not be used in hypertensive drug selection.
Taking these factors into consideration, the most useful medications are diuretics,
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs),
beta-blockers, and calcium antagonists (CCB). Most patients with hypertension require
two or more antihypertensive medications to achieve the desired blood pressure target.
The addition of a second drug from a different class begins when the use of a single drug
with the usual dose fails to reach the target of blood pressure. If blood pressure exceeds
20/10 mm Hg above target, it may be considered to initiate therapy with two drugs. What
should be noted is the risk for orthostatic hypotension, especially in patients with diabetes,
autonomic dysfunction, and the elderly.
G. Prevention of Hypertension
1. Reduce consumption of salt in your diet. If you already suffer from high blood pressure
you should avoid foods containing salt.
2. Consumption of foods containing potassium, magnesium and calcium. Potassium,
magnesium and calcium can reduce high blood pressure.
3. Reduce drinking or alcoholic beverages. If you suffer from high blood pressure, you
should avoid excessive alcohol consumption. For men suffering from hypertension, the
maximum amount of alcohol allowed is 30 ml of alcohol per day while women are 15
ml per day.
4. Exercise regularly can lower high blood pressure. If you suffer from high blood
pressure, choose a mild exercise such as walking, cycling, running, and swimming. Do
it for 30 to 45 minutes a day 3 times a week.
5. Eat high-fiber vegetables and fruits such as green vegetables, bananas, tomatoes,
carrots, melons, and oranges.
6. Run anti-stress therapy to reduce stress and you are able to control your emotions.
7. Quitting smoking also plays a major role to reduce high blood pressure or hypertension.
8. Take control of your cholesterol levels.
9. Take control of your diabetes.
10. Avoid drugs that can increase blood pressure. Consult a doctor if you are receiving
treatment for a specific disease, to request a drug that does not increase blood pressure
