Hello, i was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what they think this means doing an assignment based on hypertention .. and it asks us to talk about the broader implications , e.g public health issues. would going in to stroke, CHD, Kidney disease and also looking at cost burden to the NHS, epidemiology together with user involvement in terms of compliance with treatment/lifestyle changes.... Any advice would be great

Google is your friend. Just finding credible sources ain't always the easiest and making sense of it allAware no specific cause been found in essential hypertention but didn't Ashley mean along the lines of Smoking causes a narrowing of blood vessels therefore excessive ammount means bp would be higher as body needs need work harder to do its job

Makes sense ashleyIt's about an assessment we have to do around hypertension and in the scenario. It mentions he has a high bmi. Drinks 30+units a week. Smokes 35 a day. And does not excercise and works long days. So attempt to relate hypertension to each one of these factors rather than just looking at it as a whole picture ( one disease ) ?

Hi, im trying to understand the Pathophysiology of Hypertention. but im struggling to grasp it, Can anyone offer any guidance ?
