| hypertension, renovascular | Hypertension due to compression or obstruction of the renal artery or its branches. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neonatal pulmonary venous hypertension | <radiology> With cardiomegaly, hypoplastic left heart, critical aortic stenosis, cor triatriatum, pulmonary venous atresia, normal heart size, infradiaphragmatic TAPVR (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic venous hypertension | Increased pressure in the veins ultimately leading to the right atrium nearly always due to disease of the right heart but occasionally due to blockade of one or both venae cavae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic hypertension | Hypertension without known cause. Synonym: idiopathic hypertension, primary hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic pulmonary hypertension | <chest medicine> A condition where there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries with otherwise normal heart and lungs. The cause is unknown, but there is diffuse narrowing of the pulmonary arteries resulting in increased arteriolar pressures. Secondary heart failure ensues without correction of this problem. There is an increased incidence of this disease in females between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Treatment may include a heart and lung transplant in select cases. (27 Sep 1997) |
| intracranial hypertension | Increased pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid. If symmetrically distributed it may have few neurologic symptoms (e.g., pseudotumour cerebri), but if it is asymmetrical (as in hydrocephalus), neurological symptoms are often severe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ocular hypertension | A condition in which the intraocular pressure is elevated above normal and which may lead to glaucoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| essential hypertension | Hypertension without known cause. Synonym: idiopathic hypertension, primary hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labile hypertension | Frequently changing levels of elevated blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
