Parent topics
- Circulatory system [r]: Organ system that passes nutrients, gases, hormones, blood cells, nitrogen waste products, etc. to and from cells in the body. [e]
- Renin-angiotensin system [r]: A blood pressure regulating system of interacting components that include renin; angiotensinogen; angiotensin converting enzyme; angiotensin I; angiotensin II; and angiotensinase. [e]
Subtopics
Primary hypertension
- Pheochromocytoma [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Renal artery stenosis [r]: Narrowing of the renal artery, most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia. [e]
Hypertensive emergencies
- Sodium nitroprusside [r]: An extremely potent antihypertensive drug that acts in seconds and is administered by continuous intravenous infusion, using a microdrip pump, in critical care settings [e]
Treatment
- Antihypertensive [r]: is a drug or pharmacological agent used to treat hypertension. [e]
- Diuretic [r]: Agents that promote the excretion of urine through their effects on kidney function. [e]

- Direct vasodilator [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Endothelium-derived relaxing factor [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Heart failure [r]: Defective cardiac filling and/or impaired contraction and emptying, resulting in the heart's inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body tissues or to be able to do so only with an elevated filling pressure. [e]
- Spironolactone [r]: A steroid derivative and antiandrogen, that blocks the action of aldosterone, and used as a diuretic primarily in the treatment of hypertension. [e]
- Denervation [r]: A medical procedure to deprive an organ or body part of a nerve supply, as by surgically removing or cutting a nerve, or by blocking a nerve connection with drugs. [e]
- Glucosamine [r]: Amino sugar component of chitin, heparan sulphate, chondroitin sulphate and many complex polysaccharides, used in treatment of osteoarthritis. [e]
- Holocaust denial [r]: Claims that the Holocaust did not happen. [e]
- Heart failure [r]: Defective cardiac filling and/or impaired contraction and emptying, resulting in the heart's inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body tissues or to be able to do so only with an elevated filling pressure. [e]
