This diagnostic tool is used to evaluate "masked hypertension."
What is ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)?
Hypertension accounts for this percentage of all cerebrovascular disease cases worldwide.
What is 62%? (Will accept anything around 60%)
This CBL 21 Member is always late.
Who is Devna? (and Tanishka cause she's with me)
This type of hypertension is defined by a normal diastolic pressure but elevated systolic pressure, often seen in older adults.
What is isolated systolic hypertension?
Fundoscopy in hypertensive patients can reveal damage in this organ.
What is the eye?
Risk calculators like QRISK3 should not be used for these specific patient groups due to limitations in predictive accuracy.
What are patients with type 1 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or familial hypercholesterolemia?
These CBL 21 members are always together.
Who are James and Rory?

These symptoms, such as sweating and palpitations, may suggest a secondary cause of hypertension.
What are symptoms of phaeochromocytoma?
A family history of these two specific conditions significantly raises an individual’s cardiovascular risk.

A common secondary cause of hypertension.
What is primary hyperaldosteronism/ Cushing's syndrome/ phaeochromocytoma/ renal artery stenosis/ intrinsic renal disease/ coarctation of the aorta/ or obstructive sleep apnea?
Two investigations commonly used to assess the presence of target organ damage.
What are urine analysis (for proteinuria) and fundoscopy (for retinal damage)?
A disease driven by hypertension and endothelial damage to the inner layer of arteries.
What is Atherosclerosis?
This is the favourite activity of CBL 21 during Presentations.
What is Roleplay?
This stage of hypertension is defined as a systolic pressure ≥180 mmHg or a diastolic pressure ≥120 mmHg.
What is stage 3 hypertension?
This rare condition, characterized by severe hypertension, requires immediate medical attention.

This non-invasive test is used to detect left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients.
What is an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
