This episode frames hypertension not as a single disease, but as a maladapted regulatory state. Blood pressure is tightly defended by overlapping neural, hormonal, renal, and vascular mechanisms; when elevated chronically, it reflects a shifted set-point rather than simple excess force. We explore antihypertensive therapy as the art of nudging multiple control systems back toward balance—slowly, safely, and sustainably.
Key takeaways you’ll build and reuse throughout the series:
Blood pressure as a defended variable: why the body resists rapid or single-pathway change.
Major control systems in context: volume (kidney), tone (vessels), rate and force (heart), and neurohormonal input.
Drug classes as levers: diuretics, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers—each acting at different regulatory layers.
Combination therapy logic: why small adjustments at several points outperform large changes at one.
Long-term thinking: risk reduction, organ protection, and adherence as the true goals of treatment.
