Hypertoni

Senast uppdaterad: Senast reviderad:
Sakkunnig:
Definition:
Hypertoni utgör en riskfaktor för hjärt-kärlsjukdom och delas in i mild, måttlig och svår hypertoni. 
Förekomst:
I Sverige beräknas ungefär 25–30 % av den vuxna befolkningen ha hypertoni.
Symtom:
Hypertoni ger i regel inga symtom, förutom vid mycket högt blodtryck.
Kliniska fynd:
Diagnosen ställs efter upprepade blodtrycksmätningar under standardiserade förhållanden.
Diagnostik:
Gränsen för hypertoni är ett medelvärde >140/90 mmHg vid upprepade mätningar. Förutom mätningar på vårdenheter kan hemblodtryckmätningar och ambulatorisk blodtrycksmätning ingå. 
Behandling:
Livsstilsåtgärder och eventuellt läkemedel rekommenderas, beroende på graden av hypertoni. Vid måttlig–svår hypertoni bör behandlingen påbörjas snarast, ofta i form av kombinationsbehandling från två läkemedelsgrupper.
