Hypertension Evaluation

Advertisement

  1. Goals
    1. Confirm Hypertension (see Hypertension Criteria)
    2. Identify associated risk factors
    3. Identify target organ disease
    4. Evaluate for secondary Hypertension
  2. Evaluation
    1. Hypertension Evaluation History
    2. Hypertension Evaluation Exam
    3. Hypertension Evaluation Labs
  3. Monitoring Protocol
    1. Mild Blood Pressure Increase
      1. Recheck in 1-2 months
    2. Moderate Blood Pressure Increase
      1. Recheck in 1-2 weeks
    3. Severe or accelerated Malignant Hypertension
      1. Immediate Treatment
    4. End Organ Damage
      1. Immediate Treatment

Hypertensive disease (C0020538)

Definition (MSH)Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.
Definition (CSP)persistantly high arterial blood pressure.
Definition (NCI)Abnormally high blood pressure.
Definition (NCI)Pathological increase in blood pressure; a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg.
