Prospective Studies Collaboration tells us that the risk of hypertension; • Continues through normal BP range • Risk is stronger than originally thought • Reduction in BP 10 / 5 mmHg • 40% reduced risk of stroke death • 30 % reduced risk of IHD or other vascular death • Benefit of lower BP extends to 115/75 mmHg
PSC Meta-analysis – Summary “incremental increases of 20/10 systolic/diastolic blood pressure beginning with values of 115/75 result in a doubling of cardiovascular risk mortality.”
Evidence that rising BP and risk is overwhelming • Predictive • Reproducible • Independent • Continuous • All populations
When to Start Therapy ? High Normal Blood Pressure 136/84 mmHg • “Prehypertension” – benefit from treatment with candesartan for 2 years in healthy young males • Lower rates of subsequent hypertension N Engl J Med 2006; 355:1551-1562, Oct 12, 2006;
HOPE Study • The Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) Study was a multicenter, randomized trial enrolling 9,297 patients 55 years old with a history of cardiovascular disease, or diabetes plus at least one other cardiovascular risk factor • Patients were treated with ramipril or placebo and vitamin E or placebo for an average of 4.5 years • Combined primary endpoint was the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death • Secondary endpoints were total mortality, admission to hospital for congestive heart failure or unstable angina, complications related to diabetes, and cardiovascular revascularization Yusuf S, et al. N Engl J Med. 2000;342:145-153.

N Engl J Med. 2000;342:145-153.
When to Start Therapy ? HOPE Study • In presence of TOD it is probably beneficial to start ACEI in high risk patients, regardless of blood pressure.
High – Normal BP(130-139/85-89 mmHg) • No TOD • Lifestyle modifications • TOD • Consider ACEI or ARB
Lifestyle modifications to manage hypertension JNC VII Report 2003. JAMA 289 2560-2572
Stage 1 hypertension (140-159/90-99 mmHg) • Lifestyle Modification for 6 months BUT • Microalbuminuria • Hypertensive retinopathy • eGFR < 60 • PVD • LVH or IHD • Cerebrovascular disease • Treatment SHOULD be initiated • Target Organ Damage
Stage 2 hypertension • 160/84 mmHg • Once confirmed, treatment SHOULD be initiated • Lifestyle modification recommended • Isolated Systolic Hypertension

CLINICAL PEARL • Systolic hypertension is a more important risk factor than diastolic blood pressure.
Is there a J-Curve ? CV Disease risk 0 mmHg Blood Pressure 200 mmHg
Is there a J-Curve ? CV Disease risk 0 mmHg Blood Pressure 200 mmHg
Evidence for J-curve BP = 0 mmHg –> patient is dead “Overwhelming evidence now that our BP targets should be much lower.”
TREATING TO TARGETHow low should our BP targets be ?Do we achieve BP targets in treatment of hypertension ?
