Hypertension

Hypertension is a chronic disease. It can be controlled with medication, but it cannot be cured. Due to the lack of noticeable symptoms, hypertension is a silent health condition. The only way of knowing the problem is to check your blood pressure. Hence the patients need to continue with the treatment and lifestyle modifications as advised by their doctor, and attend regular medical follow up, usually for life. To examine current patterns of hypertension (HTN) treatment, including blood pressure (BP) control, prevalence of different antihypertensive agents, and variations in treatment associated with patient and physician characteristics. Hypertension Conference is covering the topics such as Secondary Hypertension, Hypertension Rheumatoid Arthritis, Oncology and Blood Pressure, Genetic Factors of Hypertension, Life Style of High Blood Pressure.

Pulmonary & Arterial hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHTN) is a condition of increased blood pressure within the arteries of the lungs. The most relevant mechanisms for sudden cardiac death in PAH patients seem to be related to severe dilatation of the pulmonary artery, as subsequent complications, such as left main compression syndrome, pulmonary artery dissection, pulmonary artery rupture, and massive hemoptysis, may take place.

Pediatric Hypertension

In the pediatric population, hypertension is more commonly observed which is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in many countries.  And long-term health risk to children. It is also noted that there is a correlation between overweight obesity and hypertension and also blood pressure of parents and that of their offspring. Obese children have 3 fold risk of getting hypertension than that of no obese. Children with hypertension should also be screened for cardiovascular disease, including diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia, and should be evaluated for target organ damage with a retinal examination and echocardiography.

Resistance Hypertension

Resistance hypertension is high blood pressure that does not respond well to aggressive medical treatment. It is defined as failure to achieve goal blood pressures in patients taking optimal or maximum tolerated doses of three or more antihypertensive drugs, is estimated to occur in about 25% of hypertensive patients on treatment. Several factors have been identified as contributors to resistant hypertension. Poor patient adherence, physician inertia, inadequate doses or inappropriate combinations of antihypertensive drugs, excess alcohol intake, and volume overload are some of the most common causes of resistance.

Renal/ Renovascular Hypertension

Renal /Renovascular hypertension caused by a narrowing of the arteries which convey blood to the kidney and which can be controlled by circulatory strain drugs. Individuals with renal hypertension can benefit from outside assistance by stenting, angioplasty, or surgery on the veins of the kidney. Renal hypertension mirrors the connection between blood vessel occlusive sickness and hoisted pulse. More particular determinations are made reflectively when hypertension enhances after intravascular intercession. 

Gestational Hypertension

Gestational hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is the development of new hypertension in a pregnant woman after 20 weeks gestation without the presence of protein in the urine or other signs of Pre-eclampsia in pregnancy. It is a temporary diagnosis for hypertensive pregnant women who do not meet criteria for preeclampsia or chronic hypertension (hypertension first detected before the 20th week of pregnancy).

Heart & Cardiovascular diseases

All heart diseases are cardiovascular diseases, but not all cardiovascular diseases are heart disease. The most common type of heart disease is coronary heart disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. The treatment for heart disease usually includes lifestyle changes.
Heart conditions caused by high blood pressure known as Hypertensive heart disease. Heart problems associated with high blood pressure related to the heart arteries and muscles include narrowing of the arteries called Coronary Heart Disease(CHD) and Thickening and enlargement of the heart called Left Ventricular Hypertrophy(LVH).
