Hypertension represents one of the most common conditions across the world and is implicated in many other diseases.

Understanding the basics of the pathophysiology and how autoimmunity to ACE2 could lead to difficulty in managing this disease.

This comprehensive course on hypertension aims to provide a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms, associated factors, and effective management strategies. Through a series of informative and visually engaging slides, participants will gain valuable insights into the complex relationship between hypertension and various factors, including autoimmunity, aldosterone, sodium intake, ACE2 depletion, hypomagnesemia, and AT1R autoantibodies. The course emphasizes evidence-based information, empowering participants to make informed decisions in their own lives and careers.

Key Learning Objectives:

– Explore the link between hypertension and autoimmunity, including the role of immune system dysregulation and autoantibodies.

– Understand the impact of ACE2 depletion on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and its association with hypertension.

– Learn about lifestyle modifications and dietary recommendations for managing hypertension effectively.

– Recognize the relationship between sodium intake and hypertension, and identify regular foods with high sodium content.

– Discover the significance of aldosterone in blood pressure regulation and its role in hypertension.

– Examine the influence of hypomagnesemia on hypertension, including its effects on vascular tone and endothelial function.

– Gain insights into diseases associated with AT1R autoantibodies and their contribution to hypertension.

– Understand the historical developments in hypertension therapy and their impact on current management approaches.
