Blood pressure is the pressure contained in the blood vessels that occurs when the heart pumps blood throughout the body. If the blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg it is under normal conditions. Hypertension occurs when the systolic / diastolic blood pressure exceeds 140/90 mmHg. The causes of hypertension are divided into two groups, namely: a) Essential Primary Hypertension is hypertension which has several possible causes; b) Secondary hypertension is hypertension caused by disturbances in blood vessels or certain organs, such as the kidneys, adrenal glands, and aorta. The purpose of PKM is to increase public knowledge and understanding of how to recognize symptoms and behaviors at risk of hypertension. The PKM method is in the form of counseling and health education on identifying symptoms and behaviors at risk of hypertension, targeting community PKM in RT 05 RW 12, Tangkerang Selatan District, Pekanbaru City. Activities will be held on Thursday, September 10 to September 19, 2020. The results of the PKM activities showed that of the 20 people who participated in the activity, 70% of the people knew and could mention about hypertension, especially the community was able to recognize the symptoms of hypertension and risky behavior that could cause hypertension. Health education and counseling activities on identifying symptoms and behaviors at risk of hypertension are very effective in the community. To related parties such as RT 05 RW 12 Tangkerang Selatan District to be able to coordinate with the local health center so that they can schedule activities like this on a regular basis, in order to provide knowledge to the public about recognizing symptoms and risky behavior from hypertension so that this disease can controlled. Keywords: Hypertension, RT 05 RW 12 Tangkerang Selatan    Abstrak Tekanan darah adalah suatu tekanan yang terdapat didalam pembuluh darah yang terjadi saat jantung memompakan darah keseluruh tubuh. Jika tekanan darah kurang dari 120/80 mmHg maka dalam kondisi normal. Hipertensi terjadi jika tekanan darah sistolik/diastoliknya melebihi 140/90 mmHg. Penyebab hipertensi dibagi menjadi dua golongan yaitu ;a) Hipertensi Primer Eesensial merupakan hipertensi yang memiliki beberapa kemungkinan penyebabnya; b) Hipertensi sekunder merupakan hipertensi yang disebabkan karena gangguan pembuluh darah atau organ tubuh tertentu, seperti ginjal, kelenjar adrenalin, dan aorta. Tujuan PKM adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman masyarakat bagaimana mengenali gejala dan perilaku beresiko penyakit hipertensi. Metode PKM berupa konseling dan pendidikan kesehatan tentang kenali gejala dan perilaku beresiko penyakit hipertensi, sasaran PKM masyarakat di RT 05 RW 12 Kelurahan Tangkerang Selatan Kota Pekanbaru. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada hari Kamis 10 September sampai dengan  tanggal 19 September 2020. Hasil kegiatan PKM didapat bahwa dari 20 masyarakat yang mengikuti kegiatan tersebut, 70% masyarakat mengetahui dan dapat menyebutkan mengenai tentang penyakit hipertensi terutama masyarakat sudah dapat mengenali gejala penyakit hipertensi dan perilaku yang beresiko yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit hipertensi. Kegiatan konseling dan pendidikan kesehatan tentang kenali gejala dan perilaku beresiko penyakit hipertensi sangat efektif dilaksanakan pada masyarakat.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as the heart pumps out blood, and high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is an increase in the amount of force that blood places on blood vessels as it moves through the body. Factors that can increase this force include higher blood volume due to extra fluid in the blood and blood vessels that are narrow, stiff, or clogged(1). High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows more easily. Eventually, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.

Background: Hypertension is a disease that not many people know before examining their blood pressure, so it is called with silent disease. Increased self-knowledge of this disease becomes the basis for individuals to make the decisions for the treatment. With good knowledge, we hope that the effects and complications of hypertension can be prevented. For this reason, health education is needed regarding hypertensive emergencies in elderly, because the elderly include in one of the groups at risk for hypertension, this is due to a decrease in physiology from increasing age. The purpose is to increase the elderly's knowledge about hypertensive emergencies, so as to prevent the occurrence of these events. Methods: Health education through counseling during posyandu activities was used in this activity, the knowledge was measure using questionnaire. Results: After this activity, the elderly understood about hypertensive emergencies and also knew what steps should be taken if such an event occurs. Conclusion: The increasing about knowledge in definition was 82,1%, the sign and symptom was 52%, and the treatment was 45%.

Hypertension is a condition that is often experienced by the elderly. By increasing age resulting in increased blood pressure, the arterial wall in the elderly will experience thickening which results in the accumulation of collagen in the muscle layer. So that the blood vessels will gradually narrow and become stiff . To avoid or reduce the risk of collagen and atherosclerosis accumulation which is one of the causes of hypertension, regular exercise is needed. Elderly gymnastics is a series of regular and directed and planned tones of movement that are followed by the elderly in the form of physical exercises that affect the physical abilities of the elderly which will help the body stay fit and stay fresh. It keeps bones strong and helps eliminate free radicals wandering in the body and can flex blood vessels. This research is a kind of quasi-experimental research with a pre and post test without control design. This research was conducted in Darussalam, Aceh Besar. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, a statistical test used by Non-parametric. To see blood pressure before and after elderly exercise using the t-test. After doing elderly gymnastics for six times in 2 weeks, there are differences in the value of blood pressure in the elderly before and after elderly gymnastics with a p-value of 0.000. Thus, it is expected that elderly gymnastics can be used as an alternative nursing action in handling hypertension, especially in the elderly. Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan suatau keadaan yang sering dialami oleh lansia, dengan bertambahnya umur mengakibatkan tekanan darah meningkat, karena dinding arteri pada usia lanjut (lansia) akan mengalami penebalan yang mengakibatkan penumpukan zat kolagen pada lapisan otot, sehingga pembuluh darah akan berangsur-angsur menyempit dan menjadi kaku. Untuk menghindari atau menurunkan resiko penumpukan zat kolagen dan aterosklerosis yang merupakan salah satu penyebab hipertensi, maka diperlukan olahraga yang teratur. Senam lansia merupakan serangkaian gerak nada yang teratur dan terarah serta terencana yang diikuti oleh orang lanjut usia dalam bentuk latihan fisik yang berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan fisik lansia, yang akan membantu tubuh agar tetap bugar dan tetap segar karena melatih tulang tetap kuat dan membantu menghilangkan radikal bebas yang berkeliaran dalam tubuh  serta dapat melenturkan pembuluh darah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan rancangan pre and post test without control. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar terhadap lansia yang mengalami hipertensi. Tekanan darah di ukur dengan menggunakan spigmomanometer, uji statistik yang digunakan Non-parametrik. Untuk melihat tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia menggunakan Uji t-test. Setelah dilakukan senam lansia selama enam (6) kali dalam waktu 2 (dua) minggu pada lansia yang mengalami hipertensi, secara umum terdapat perbedaan tekanan darah pada lansia sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia dengan p-value 0,000, dengan demikian diharapkan senam lansia ini dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif tindakan keperawatan dalam penanganan hipertensi terutama pada lansia.

Hypertension is a condition that is characterized by the persistent raised blood pressure. It is not seen as a disease rather as a major risk factor that is solely responsible for different types of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and left ventricular hypertrophy. Although this condition cannot be cured, hypertension can be managed and prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle that encompasses factors such as diet, physical exercise, reduced alcohol consumption, moderate sodium and potassium intake, and psychological factors. Apart from these, environmental factor like noise has also proved to be associated with the high blood pressure. Different prevalence studies have been conducted to find out the relationship between high blood pressure and different lifestyle factors. This article aims to review and emphasize the prevalence of high blood pressure in slum dwellers and at-risk workers who are shift job workers and occupational noise affected workers. Different research articles pertaining to different authors and countries have been reviewed to portray the concern of this condition. There is the need for proper recognition to these folks of people who are exposed to the precarious and high-risk style of living in the slum dwellers, shift job workers, and occupational noise affected workers. The distress in the physiological functioning of the body leading to hypertension has been found in the slum dwellers and at-risk workers; shift job workers and occupational noise affected workers that are again attributable to aforementioned lifestyle and environmental factor. The proper management of hypertension is extremely required to safeguard these unacknowledged groups of people.

Suppose that your heart has just stopped. What would happen to your blood pressure? At least 2 things would happen that you might not predict (and I hope you won't discover them anytime soon). First, the various blood pressures in the different parts of your circulatory system would converge to the same value. Second, you might be surprised to find that your blood pressure is not zero. That's not just because of vertical (hydrostatic) gradients within the body. Because the blood volume is considerably greater than the passive circulatory system volume, the blood vessels are slightly stretched and maintain a non-zero pressure even after the heart stops. To determine the actual non-zero pressure during cardiac arrest, we only have to divide the stressed blood volume by vascular compliance.

‘Water, salt, and blood pressure’ describes how the balance of water in the body is controlled by several hormones, including vasopressin (arginine vasopressin (AVP)). AVP reduces urine production by the kidneys and also causes small blood vessels to contract, raising blood pressure. Blood volume and pressure are also adjusted by changing the amount of sodium ions reclaimed by kidney nephrons. The renin–Ang-II–aldosterone hormone system balances blood volume and circulatory space to keep pressure stable when the volume and dilution of the blood change. But what happens if the concentration of salt (sodium and other ions) in the blood starts to rise? Is there a direct way to get rid of excess salt? A hormone secreted by the heart, called ANP, does exactly this.

Arterial tortuosity is a phenomenon which is observed throughout the body and is associated with aging, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other vascular diseases [1]. Tortuous arteries significantly hinder blood flow which may lead to the development of atherosclerotic plaque buildup [2]. Blood vessels may also become twisted or demonstrate 3-D tortuous shapes when subject to large twist deformations such as during surgical implantation of vascular grafts, propeller flap procedures, stent-artery interactions, and sudden movements of the neck or limbs [4–6]. However, the twisting behavior of arteries is poorly understood.

Abstract Background Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 is linked to inflammation, cancer, and atherosclerosis. GDF-15 is expressed in most tissues but is extremely induced under pathological conditions. Elevated serum levels are suggested as a risk factor and a marker for cardiovascular diseases. However, the cellular sources and the effects of GDF-15 on the cardiovascular system have not been completely elucidated including progression, and morphology of atherosclerotic plaques. Thus, this work aimed to characterize the influence of GDF-15 deficiency on the morphology of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels with low-oxygen blood and low blood pressure as the pulmonary trunk (PT), in hypercholesterolemic ApoE−/− mice. Methods GDF-15−/− ApoE−/− mice were generated by crossbreeding of ApoE−/−- and GDF-15−/− mice. After feeding a cholesterol-enriched diet (CED) for 20 weeks, samples of the brachiocephalic trunk (BT) and PT were dissected and lumen stenosis (LS) was measured. Furthermore, changes in the cellularity of the PT, amounts of apoptosis-, autophagy-, inflammation- and proliferation-relevant proteins were immunohisto-morphometrically analyzed. Additionally, we examined an atherosclerotic plaque in a human post mortem sample of the pulmonary artery. Results After CED the body weight of GDF-15−/−ApoE−/− was 22.9% higher than ApoE−/−. Double knockout mice showed also an 35.3% increase of plasma triglyceride levels, whereas plasma cholesterol was similar in both genotypes. LS in the BT and PT of GDF-15−/−ApoE−/− mice was significantly reduced by 19.0% and by 6.7% compared to ApoE−/−. Comparing LS in PT and BT of the same genotype revealed a significant 38.8% (ApoE−/−) or 26.4% (GDF-15−/−ApoE−/−) lower LS in the PT. Immunohistomorphometry of atherosclerotic lesions in PT of GDF-15−/−ApoE−/− revealed significantly increased levels (39.8% and 7.3%) of CD68 + macrophages (MΦ) and α-actin + smooth muscle cells than in ApoE−/−. The density of TUNEL + , apoptotic cells was significantly (32.9%) higher in plaques of PT of GDF-15−/−ApoE−/− than in ApoE−/−. Analysis of atherosclerotic lesion of a human pulmonary artery showed sm-α-actin, CD68+, TUNEL+, Ki67+, and APG5L/ATG+ cells as observed in PT. COX-2+ and IL-6+ immunoreactivities were predominantly located in endothelial cells and subendothelial space. In BT and PT of GDF15−/−ApoE−/− mice the necrotic area was 10% and 6.5% lower than in ApoE−/−. In BT and PT of GDF15−/−ApoE−/− we found 40% and 57% less unstable plaques than ApoE−/− mice. Conclusions Atherosclerotic lesions occur in both, BT and PT, however, the size is smaller in PT, possibly due to the effect of the low-oxygen blood and/or lower blood pressure. GDF-15 is involved in atherosclerotic processes in BT and PT, although different mechanisms (e.g. apoptosis) in these two vessels seem to exist.
