5 Management of hypetension Reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality Reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality In patients with diabetes mellitus or renal disease, the target blood pressure is  130/80 In patients with diabetes mellitus or renal disease, the target blood pressure is  130/80 In patients without diabetes mellitus or renal disease, the target blood pressure is  140/90 In patients without diabetes mellitus or renal disease, the target blood pressure is  140/90 Primary focus should be directed toward achieving the systolic blood pressure goal Primary focus should be directed toward achieving the systolic blood pressure goal Most patients will achieve the diastolic pressure goal once the systolic pressure is at goal Most patients will achieve the diastolic pressure goal once the systolic pressure is at goal Goals of pharmacotherapy

9 Management of hypertension Thiazide-type diuretics should be used as initial therapy for most patients Thiazide-type diuretics should be used as initial therapy for most patients Certain comorbidities are “compelling indciations” for the use of other drugs as initial monotherapy (see below) Certain comorbidities are “compelling indciations” for the use of other drugs as initial monotherapy (see below) Most patients will require  drugs to achieve target blood pressure Most patients will require  drugs to achieve target blood pressure If blood pressure is  20/10 mmHg above target, consider initiating therapy with 2 drugs (separately or in combination) If blood pressure is  20/10 mmHg above target, consider initiating therapy with 2 drugs (separately or in combination) Consider the risk of orthostatic hypotension in such patients who also have diabetes mellitus, autonomic neuropathy, etc Consider the risk of orthostatic hypotension in such patients who also have diabetes mellitus, autonomic neuropathy, etc Pharmacotherapy

11 Management of hypertension Patients should return at approximately monthy intervals until target blood pressure is reached Patients should return at approximately monthy intervals until target blood pressure is reached After blood pressure is stable at target, monitoring can usually be done at 3-6 month intervals After blood pressure is stable at target, monitoring can usually be done at 3-6 month intervals Serum potassium and creatinine should be monitored at least 1-2 times per year Serum potassium and creatinine should be monitored at least 1-2 times per year Cormorbidities (diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, etc) may influence the monitoring schedule Cormorbidities (diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, etc) may influence the monitoring schedule Monitoring

18 Key messages In persons older than 50 years, systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg is a much more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic blood pressure. The risk of CVD beginning at 115/75 mmHg doubles with each increment of 20/10 mmHg; individuals who are normotensive at age 55 have a 90 percent lifetime risk for developing hypertension. Individuals with a systolic blood pressure of 120–139 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of 80–89 mmHg should be considered as prehypertensive and require health-promoting lifestyle modifications to prevent CVD.

19 Key messages (continued) Thiazide-type diuretics should be used in drug treatment for most patients with uncomplicated hypertension, either alone or combined with drugs from other classes. Certain high-risk conditions are compelling indications for the initial use of other antihypertensive drug classes (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers). Most patients with hypertension will require two or more antihypertensive medications to achieve goal blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg, or <130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease). Certain high-risk conditions are compelling indications for the initial use of other antihypertensive drug classes (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers).

Most patients with hypertension will require two or more antihypertensive medications to achieve goal blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg, or <130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease). If blood pressure is >20/10 mmHg above goal blood pressure, consideration should be given to initiating therapy with two agents, one of which usually should be a thiazide-type diuretic.

21 Key messages The most effective therapy prescribed by the most careful clinician will control hypertension only if patients are motivated. Motivation improves when patients have positive experiences with, and trust in, the clinician. Empathy builds trust and is a potent motivator. In presenting these guidelines, the committee recognizes that the responsible physician’s judgment remains paramount.
