This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Patient MAP, HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors have benefits, vasodilators relax and dilate blood vessels, cholesterol recommended intake is 200-300 mg/day, high blood pressure (hypertension) includes diastolic pressure, HDL (high-density lipoprotein, "good" cholesterol) carries to liver, drugs such as prubocol, bile acid sequestrants for example cholestyramine, high blood pressure (hypertension) includes systolic pressure, aspirin if pt is allergic, use Clopidrgel (Plavix), high blood pressure (hypertension) is prevalent in people with gout or kidney disease, cholesterol is used to form hormones, arteries may be coronary arteries, endothelium (innermost layer) is damaged by high cholesterol, drugs such as angiotensin II receptor blockers, plaque may include fatty substances, high blood pressure (hypertension) is prevalent in middle-aged and elderly people, plaque may rupture, forming blood clots (thrombus), LDL (low-density lipoprotein, contain cholesterol) carries other kinds of cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein, "good" cholesterol) level of less than 40 mg/dL is a controllable risk factor, bile acid sequestrants may cause high triglycerides
