In several trials in high-risk patients (HOPE,

ACE-I (or an ARB) usually with a diuretic)
reduced CV events more than a regimen that did
not include these medications.

Monotherapy

• Antihypertensive monotherapy is effective in only
  about 40-60 of hypertensive patients,
  irrespective of the category of the agent that is
  used. Therefore, there is frequently a need for
  the use of two medications with different
  mechanisms of action.

AntihypertensiveTrial Design

• Randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical
  trial
• Determine whether occurrence of fatal CHD or
  nonfatal MI is lower for high-risk hypertensive
  patients treated with newer agents (CCB, ACEI,
  alpha-blocker) compared with a diuretic
• 42,418 high-risk hypertensive patients

27
ALLHAT Trial
Results indicate that in hypertensive patients
(mean age of 67 years) gt90 can be controlled
with a DBP lt90 mm Hg gt60 with a SBP lt140 mm
Hg and gt60 with BPs lt140/90 mm Hg with a
less than ideal regimen.

The ALLHAT results indicate that there was no
difference in fatal or non fatal MIs or death
with a thiazide diuretic compared to an ACE or
CCB based treatment regimen
BUT

• There were fewer incidents of hospitalized/fatal
  episodes of heart failure with a diuretic than
  with a CCB
• There were fewer strokes with a thiazide than
  with an ACE-1 based treatment regimen

34
Many clinical trial results demonstrate that

• Fewer cases of new onset diabetes occur if an ACE
  or an ARB is included in therapy
• Diabetic patients, especially those with
  proteinuria, have a better outcome if an ACE or
  an ARB rather than a CCB is included in therapy

  either a diuretic-based regimen or an ACE

Pre hypertension (120/80 - 140/90 mm Hg) - Is
It a Risk Factor for T.O.D.?
1) LV mass greater in pre hypertensives than in
normotensives (Strong Heart Study) 2)
Pre hypertension does not increase stroke
risk. (Presented at Stroke Conference,
Feb. 2004, San Diego) 3) CRP as a marker of
inflammation may be increased
41
Laboratory Tests

• Routine Tests in the Evaluation of a Hypertensive
  Patient (JNC 7)
• Electrocardiogram
• Urinalysis
• Blood glucose and hematocrit
• Serum potassium, creatinine, or the corresponding
  estimated GFR, and calcium
• Lipid profile (fasting)
• Optional Tests
• Measurement of urinary albumin excretion or
  albumin/creatinine ratio

Algorithm for Drug Treatment of Hypertension
Initial Drug Choices
Without Specific or Compelling Indications
Stage 2 Hypertension (SBP gt160 or DBP gt100
mmHg) 2-drug combination for most (usually
thiazide-type diuretic and ACEI, or ARB, or BB,
or CCB)
Stage 1 Hypertension (SBP 140159 or DBP 9099
mmHg) Thiazide-type diuretics for most. May
consider ACEI, ARB, BB, CCB, or combination.
Combination therapy may also be appropriate
initial therapy in patients with diabetes or
renal disease

JNC 7 Key Messages

• Thiazide-type diuretics should be initial drug
  therapy for most hypertensive patients, alone or
  combined with other medications
• If BP is gt160/100 mmHg, therapy should probably
  started with two medications, one of which should
  be a thiazide-type diuretic

different actions to control more patients
or can we accomplish goal BPs with present
medications?

• Oral contraceptives may increase BP, HRT does not
  raise BP
• ACEIs and ARBs are contraindicated in pregnancy

• Black patients demonstrate a reduced BP response
  to monotherapy with BBs, ACEIs, or ARBs compared
  to diuretics or CCBs
• These differences are usually eliminated by the
  addition of a diuretic
