Did You Know: These Medications Can Cause or Worsen Hypertension and Are Sometime Overlooked?
Hypertension (HTN) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular conditions (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction, sudden death, heart failure) and kidney disease.1,2 However, the exact etiology of HTN is unknown. Primary HTN accounts for ∼90% of cases. The remaining 10% of cases have a secondary cause, which can vary with age and include multiple etiologies, some reversible. For example, common secondary causes of HTN include kidney disease, primary hyperaldosteronism, obstructive sleep apnea, atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis , pregnancy, and/or drug and substance use.

911 Calls for Emergency Medical Services in Heart Failure: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
Conclusions Overall, symptoms and signs of HF exacerbation were common reasons to activate 911 calls. Falls were frequently reported. Under the duress of the emergent situations surrounding the 911 call, callers rarely mentioned the existence of HF. Interventions are needed to guide patients with HF and their family members to promote the management of HF to reduce EMS activation as well as to activate EMS quickly for acute changes in HF conditions.
