Putting the Evidence into Practice Hypertension 2017
Disclosures • Relationshipswith commercial interests: • Grants/Research Support: • Speakers Bureau/Honoraria: • Consulting Fees: • Data Safety and Monitoring:
Disclosure of Commercial Support • This program has receivedfinancial support fromServier Canada in the form of an educationalgrant • This program has not receivedany in-kindsupport
MitigatingPotentialBias • The information presentedisbased on recent information thatisexplicitly ‘‘evidence-based’’ and issolelybased on Hypertension Canada Guidelines
Evidence-BasedAnnual Guidelines • Canada has the world’shighestreported national blood pressure control rates • Hypertension Canada isknown as the mostcredible source for evidence-based hypertension guidelines, withannual updates, a well-validatedreviewprocess and effective dissemination and implementation techniques across Canada
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of thisactivity, participants willbe able to: • Applyappropriatemethods for making a diagnosis of hypertension • Implementevidence-basedthreshold and targetBPs • Integrate new guidelines for hypertension management including: • Use of longer-acting over shorter-acting diuretics • Use of single pillcombinations as a first-line treatment
Hypertension 2017 What’s new? • Longer acting (thiazide-like) diuretics are preferredvs. shorter acting (thiazides) • Single pillcombinations as a first line treatment (regardless of the extent of BP elevation)
Hypertension 2017 What’sstill important? • The diagnosis of hypertension shouldbebasedon out-of-office measurements; in the office, use automated office BP monitoring (AOBP) • The threshold and targetblood pressures are lowerin those at greaterrisk
Hypertension Diagnostic Algorithm • Out of office assessmentis the preferredmeansof hypertension Dx • Measurementusingelectronic(oscillometric) upper arm devicesispreferred over auscultation ABPM= ambulatory blood pressure measurement AOBP = automated office blood pressure
Out-of-Office Assessmentis the PreferredMeans of Diagnosing Hypertension Clinic BP as alternate method AOBP = automated office blood pressure OBPM = office BP measurement ABPM = ambulatory BP measurement HBPM = home BP measurement
Out-of-Office BP Measurements • Out-of-office measurement identifies white coat hypertension and masked hypertension • ABPM has betterpredictiveabilitythan OBPM and is the recommended out-of-office measurementmethod • HBPM has betterpredictiveabilitythan OBPM and isrecommended if ABPM is not tolerated, not readilyavailable or due to patient preference ABPM= ambulatory blood pressure measurement HBPM = home BP measurement OBPM = office BP measurement

Automated Office (unattended, AOBP) Oscillometric (electronic) Automated Office BP MeasurementPreferred • Automated office blood pressure (AOBP) is the preferredmethod of performing in-office BP measurement
Automated Office BP Measurement • More closely approximates ABPM than routine office BPs (mitigates white coat effect)1-3 • Is more predictive of end organ damage (LVMI, proteinuria and cIMT), similar to ABPM4-6 ABPM= ambulatory blood pressure measurement LVMI = left ventricular mass index cIMT= carotid intima media thickness • Beckett L, et al.

New Guideline Post-SPRINT • For high-risk patients, aged ≥ 50 years, withsystolic BP levels ≥130 mm Hg, intensive management to target a systolic BP ≤120 mm Hg shouldbeconsidered • Intensive management shouldbeguided by automated office BP measurements • Patient selection for intensive management isrecommended and caution shouldbetaken in certain high-risk groups

Advantages of Single PillCombinations (SPCs) • SPC therapy is associated with better adherence vs. free combinations1 • A regimen featuring initial prescription of SPC leads to better BP control2 • Initial combination therapy is associated with ↓ risk of CV events than monotherapy3,4 Sherrill B, et al.
