SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION AND SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHY
Dr. Smita Brahmachari
Abstract:
Hypertension (HTN) is an enormous health problem and is one of the biggest health challenges in the 21st century. Although the condition is common, readily detectable, and easily treatable, it is usually asymptomatic and often leads to lethal complications if left untreated. The prevalence of HTN is increasing rapidly in India driven by diverse health transitions. Apart from health implications it has huge societal, developmental and economic costs to resource constrained health systems, particularly developing nations like India. Further, hypertension is also a leading cause for hospitalizations and outpatient visits.
Reducing systolic and diastolic BP can decrease cardiovascular risk and this can be achieved by non-pharmacological (lifestyle measures) as well as pharmacological means (medicines). Homoeopathic system of medicine particularly individualized constitutional approach has significant beneficial effects on patients suffering from HTN and thus widely used in length and breadth of our nation as an alternative public health approach in curbing the increasing prevalence of HTN because of its cost effectiveness and minimal side effects.
In current scenario with rising burden of HTN posing a serious health threat to health care system of India, the present article makes a sincere attempt to present before its readers how to timely and effectively address a case of HTN at primary level health care set-up with homoeopathic medicines.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

16. Globally cardiovascular disease
accounts for approximately 17
million deaths a year, nearly one
third of the total deaths. Of these,
complications of hypertension
account for 9.4 million deaths
worldwide every year .
Hypertension is responsible for at
least 45% of deaths due to heart
disease and 51% of deaths due
to stroke .
16
17. In terms of attributable
deaths, hypertension is one
of the leading behavioral and
physiological risk factor to
which 13% of global deaths
are attributed.
Hypertension is reported to
be the fourth contributor to
premature death in
developed countries and the
seventh in developing
countries.

18. Recent reports indicate that nearly
1 billion adults (more than a
quarter of the world’s population)
had hypertension in 2000, and
this is predicted to increase to
1.56 billion by 2025.
Today, mean blood pressure

30. The off springs of the
hypertensive parents
are more prone to
suffer from essential
hypertension
compared with that
without hypertensive
family.
30
31. The mechanisms
leading to
hypertension are
due to increased
blood volume and
the content of the
sodium in the
smooth muscle cells
enhance following
subsequent calcium
increase.
31
32. The activation of
Sympathetic
nervous can
augment periphery
resistant which
increase systemic
arterial pressure.
32
34. Systemic atherosclerosis
develops with increased
intimal-medium
thickness leading to
ischemic alterations in
target organs such as
heart, brain, kidney and
peripheral artery.
34
35. In Aorta and large
arteries recurrent
pulsatile stress
produces uncoiling,
disruption and
calcification of elastic
fibres. At the same
time, relatively
inelastic collagen is
also increased.
35
36. This is a result of
ageing as well as
hypertension : both
processes therefore
cause loss of the
normal elastic
reservoir funtion of
arteries.
36
38. § Routine Tests
• Electrocardiogram
• Urinalysis / Blood glucose, and hematocrit
• Serum potassium, creatinine, or the corresponding
estimated GFR, and calcium
• Lipid profile, after 9- to 12-hour fast, that includes high-
density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and
triglycerides
§ Optional tests - Measurement of urinary albumin
excretion or albumin/creatinine ratio
§ More extensive testing for identifiable causes is not
generally indicated unless BP control is not being
achieved.
38
42. Hypertension can be prevented by
complementary application of strategies
that target the general population and
individuals and groups at higher risk for
high blood pressure.
However, prevention strategies applied
early in life provide the greatest long-term
potential for reducing the overall burden of
blood pressure related complications in the
community
43
43. A population-based approach
aimed at achieving a downward
shift in the distribution of blood
pressure in the general population
and is an important component
for any comprehensive plan to
prevent hypertension.
A small decrement in systolic
blood pressure is likely to result in
a substantial reduction in the
burden of blood pressure-related
illness
44
45. In an analysis based on Framingham
Heart Study experience, Cook et al.
concluded that a 2 mmHg reduction
in the population average of diastolic
blood pressure for white U.S.
residents 35 to 64 years of age would
result in a 17 percent decrease in the
prevalence of hypertension, a 14
percent reduction in the risk of stroke
and transient ischemic attacks, and a 6
percent reduction in the risk of CHD
46
46. BP Reductions as Small as 2 mmHg Reduces the Risk
of CV Events by Up to 10%
▶ Meta-analysis of 61 prospective, observational
studies
▶ 1 million adults
▶ 12.7 million person-years 10% increase in risk
stroke Mortality
2 mmHg
increase in
mean SBP
7% increase in risk of
IHD Mortality
47
47. Public health approaches,
such as lowering sodium
content or caloric density in
the food supply, and
providing attractive, safe,
and convenient
opportunities for exercise
are ideal population-based
approaches for reduction of
average blood pressure in
the community
48
48. More intensive targeted approaches, aimed at
achieving a greater reduction in blood pressure in those
who are most likely to develop hypertension.
Groups at high risk for hypertension include those with a
grade –I blood pressure, a family history of
hypertension, overweight or obesity, smokers,a
sedentary lifestyle, excess intake of dietary sodium
and/or insufficient intake of potassium, and/or excess
consumption of alcohol.
49
53. Sodium, through hypertension, is a major contributor to
death, disability, disparities, and costs attributable to
cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
Globally, 8.5 million deaths could be averted over 10
years from 2006 to 2015 through a 15% reduction in
sodium intake
54. An adults should consume less than 2000
milligrams of sodium, or 5 g of salt per day
Sodium content is high in processed
foods, such as bread (approximately 250
mg/100 g), processed meats like bacon
(approximately 1500 mg/100 g), and
popcorn (approximately 1500 mg/100 g),
as well as in condiments such as soy
sauce (approximately 7000 mg/100 g), and
bouillon or stock cubes (approximately 20
000 mg/100 g).
57
55. WHO recommends that adults
should consume at least 3,510
mg of potassium/day.
Potassium-rich foods include :
beans and peas (approximately
1,300 mg of potassium per 100
g), nuts (approximately 600
mg/100 g), vegetables such as
spinach, cabbage and parsley
(approximately 550 mg/100 g)
and fruit such as bananas,
(approximately 300 mg/100 g).
58
57. There are six important components of any
country
1|an integrated primary care programme
2|the cost of implementing the programme
3|basic diagnostics and medicines
4|reduction of risk factors in the population
5|workplace-based wellness programmes
6|monitoring of progress.
60
58. Integrated programmes must be
established at the primary care
level for control of hypertension.
In most countries this is the
weakest level of the health
system.
Treatment should be targeted
particularly at people at medium
or high risk of developing heart
attack, stroke or kidney damage.
61
59. The cumulative cost of implementing an
integrated primary care programme to
prevent heart attack, stroke and kidney
failure, using blood pressure as an entry
point that address cardiovascular disease and
cervical cancer in all low- and middle-
income countries is estimated to be US$ 9.4
billion a year
62
60. Availability of basic technologies to manage
people with hypertension .
Availability and appropriate use of essential
medicines to prevent complications in people
with moderate to high cardiovascular risk .
The links between different levels of the
health system so that people can be
managed appropriately based on heir level of
risk.
63
61. The basic diagnostic technologies required
for addressing hypertension include accurate
blood pressure measurement devices,
weighing scales, urine albumin strips, fasting
blood sugar tests and blood cholesterol tests.
64
62. Not all patients diagnosed with hypertension
require medication but those at medium to
high risk will need one or more of eight essen-
tial medicines to lower their cardiovascular
risk.
A thiazide diuretic, an angiotensin converting
enzyme inhibitor, a long-acting calcium chan-
nel blocker, a beta blocker, metformin, insulin,
a statin and aspirin).
65
63. The cost of implementing such a programme
is low, at less than US$ 1 per head in low-
income countries, less than US$ 1.50 per
head in lower middle-income countries and
US$ 2.50 in up- per middle-income countries
66
64. Most cardiovascular disease in the population
occurs in people with an average risk level, because
they constitute the largest proportion of the
population.
The population-based approach is thus based on
the observation that effective reduction of
cardiovascular disease rates in the population
usually calls for community-wide changes in
unhealthy behaviors or reduction in mean risk
factor levels.
67
65. Population-wide approaches to reduce high blood
pressure are similar to those that address other
major non communicable diseases.
They require public policies to reduce the exposure
of the whole population to risk factors such as an
unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, harmful use of
alcohol and tobacco use , with a special focus on
children, adolescents and youth.
68
66. WHO considers work place health programmes to
be one of the most cost-effective
Workplace wellness programmes should focus on
promoting worker health through the reduction of
individual risk-related behaviours, e.g. tobacco
use, unhealthy diet, harmful use of alcohol,
physical inactivity and other health risk behaviors
69
67. National surveillance health information systems
must be strengthened to monitor the impact of
action to prevent and control hypertension and
other risk factors of non communicable diseases.
Monitoring systems must collect reliable
information on risk factors and their determinants,
non communicable disease mortality and illness.
This data is critical for policy and programme
development. However, some countries still lack
surveillance data for hypertension and other risk
factors

1. Risk reduction for prevention of NCDs
(Diabetes, CVD and Stroke)
2. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of
Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases,cancer and
Stroke
71
69. 1. Health Promotion for the General Population
2. Disease Prevention for the High Risk
groups.
Community Based Interventions, Workplace
Interventions , Disease Prevention for the
High Risk, Setting up special clinics ,
Harnessing the Private Sector and Specific
interventions at the tertiary level to enhance
capacity to respond to the needs of NCD
72
70. Awareness generated on HEALTHY LIFE
STYLES.
Decrease in the incidence of Non –
Communicable Diseases particularly,
Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases,cancer and
Stroke.
73
71. A. At Sub centre
1.Health promotion for behavior change
2.‘Opportunistic’ Screening using B.P
measurement and blood glucose by strip
method
3. Referral of suspected cases to CH
74
72. 1. Prevention and health promotion including
counseling
2.Early diagnosis through clinical and laboratory
investigations (Common lab investigations: Blood
Sugar, lipid profile, ECG, Ultrasound, X ray etc.)
3. Management of common CVD, diabetes and stroke
cases(out patient and in patients.)
4. Home based care for bed ridden chronic cases
5. Referral of difficult cases to District Hospital/higher
health care facilit
75
73. 1. Investigations: Blood Sugar, lipid profile,
Kidney Function Test (KFT),Liver Function Test
( LFT), ECG, Ultrasound, X ray, colonscopy ,
mammography etc. (if not available, will be
outsourced)
2. Medical management of cases ( out patient ,
inpatient and intensive Care )
3.Follow up and care of bed ridden cases
4.Day care facility
76
74. A combination of increased
physical activity, moderation in
alcohol intake, and consumption of
an eating plan that is lower in
sodium content and higher in
fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy
products represents the best
approach for preventing high
blood pressure in the general
population and in high risk groups.
77
75. a. For persons over age 50, SBP is a more
important than DBP as CVD risk factor.
b. Starting at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk
doubles with each increment of 20/10
mmHg throughout the BP range.
c. Persons who are normotensive at age 55
have a 90% lifetime risk for developing
HTN.
d. Those with SBP 120–139 mmHg or DBP
80–89 mmHg should be considered
prehypertensive who require health-
promoting lifestyle modifications to
prevent CVD.
