Conditions
• Drug-resistant/induced hypertension
• Abrupt onset of hypertension
• Onset of hypertension at <30 y
• Exacerbation of previously controlled hypertension
• Disproportionate TOD for degree of hypertension
• Accelerated/malignant hypertension
•• Onset

TOD indicates target organ damage (e.g., cerebrovascular disease,
hypertensive retinopathy, left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular
dysfunction, heart failure, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease,

albuminuria, peripheral artery disease).
Causes of Secondary Hypertension
With Clinical Indications
Common causes
Renal parenchymal disease
Renovascular disease
Primary aldosteronism
Obstructive sleep apnea
Drug or alcohol induced
Uncommon causes
Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma
Cushing’s syndrome
Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Aortic coarctation (undiagnosed or repaired)
Primary hyperparathyroidism
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Mineralocorticoid excess syndromes other than primary aldosteronism
Acromegaly
Primary Aldosteronism
Chronic Hypertension
Gestational Hypertension
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia superimposed on Chronic
Hypertension
Chronic Hypertension
Preexisting Hypertension
Definition
- Systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, DBP≥90 mmHg,
or both.
- Presents before 20th week of pregnancy
Causes
- Primary = Essential Hypertension
- Secondary = Result of other medical condition (ie:
renal disease)
Treatment for Chronic Hypertension
HELLP Syndrome
Treatment of Preeclampsia
• Laboratory Tests
• CBC (Hgb, Plts)
• Renal Function (Cr, UA, Albumin)
• Liver Function (AST, ALT, ALP, LD)
• Coagulation (PT, PTT, INR, Fibrinogen)
• Urine Protein (Dipstick, 24 hour)
Management of Hypertension in Pregnancy
• Observational Management
• Restricted activity
• Close Maternal and Fetal Monitoring
• BP Monitoring
• Management of preeclampsia
• Fetal growth and well being (NST, and U/S)
• Routine weekly or biweekly blood work
Management of Hypertension in Pregnancy
• Medical Management
• Acute Therapy = IV Labetalol, IV Hydralazine, SR Nifedipine
• Expectant Therapy = Oral Labetalol, Methyldopa, Nifedipine
• Eclampsia prevention = MgSO4
*In the United States, 1 “standard” drink contains roughly 14 g of pure alcohol, which is
typically found in 12 oz of regular beer (usually about 5% alcohol), 5 oz of wine (usually about
12% alcohol), and 1.5 oz of distilled spirits (usually about 40% alcohol).

1. Diuretics
2. Beta Blockers
3. calcium channel blockers
4. ACEIs
5. ARBs
6. Central acting drugs
- Alpha methyl dopa
- Clonidine
7. Alpha blocker
- Doxazosin (Cardular)
Diuretics
Thiazide-type Diuretics
Inhibit NaCl reabsorption
Side effects:
- Electrolyte imbalances: ↓ Na, ↓ Cl, ↓ K
(advise K rich foods)
- Fluid volume depletion (monitor for orthostatic
hypotension)
- Urgency
- Hyperuricemia
Beta Blockers
Ongoing studies are comparing the effect of ARBs with ACEI and are
investigating the use in patients with heart failure
