The concerns about new onset diabetes With various antihypertensive medications Should not be a major determining factor In the choice of initial therapy.
Past History Attempts to minimize benefits of therapy with diuretics or diuretics/B-blockers Statement: 1) Reduced strokes and heart failure but minimal effect on CHD events - result of effects on lipids Proven false 2) Poorly tolerated - Proven false 3) Increased ectopy - sudden death - Proven false 4) Use did not result in regression of LVH - Proven false
The Present Statement: New onset diabetes (NOD) is increased with diuretics - should reconsider use of these agents as initial therapy Fact: NOD increased by about 1% compared to placebo or CCBs and 1- 3.5% compared to ACE-Is but Fact: Long-term outcome not affected; CVD events reduced to as great or greater extent as other Rx

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 is included in therapy *IDNT, RENAAL, LIFE, HOPE, CAPPP, AASK, VALUE, ALLHAT

ALLHAT Conclusions • Among non diabetics, incidence of fasting glucose 126 mg/dL at 4 years was 1.8% higher in chlorthalidone vs amlodipine, and 3.5% higher in chlorthalidone vs lisinopril. • Overall, metabolic differences did not translate into more adverse cardiovascular events, or into higher all-cause mortality, with chlorthalidone.
Risk of Hyperglycemia with Use of Antihypertensive Drugs Thiazide Central antiadrenergic agents Peripheral antiadrenergic agents ACE inhibitors B-Blockers Calcium channel blockers Vasodilators >1 Agent without thiazide >1 Agent with thiazide 0.51 1.5 2 2.5 3 Decreased Risk Increased Risk Adjusted ORs and 95%CI
In a large prospective survey, it was concluded that “subjects with hypertension who were taking thiazide diuretics were not at greater risk for the subsequent development of diabetes than were subjects with hypertension who were not receiving any antihypertensive therapy. However, subjects with hypertension who were taking B-blockers had a 28% higher risk of subsequent diabetes.” Gress, et al. NEJM 2000;342:905-12
Conclusions: “Concern about the risk of diabetes should not discourage physicians from prescribing thiazide diuretics to nondiabetic adults who have hypertension. The use of B-blockers appears to increase the risk of diabetes, but this adverse effect must be weighed against the proven benefits of B-blockers in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.” Gress, et al.

“It is important to remark that the occurrence of new diabetes was an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk, whereas the use of diuretics, albeit predictive of new diabetes, did not show any independent relation with subsequent cardiovascular events.” Verdecchia, Hypertens 2004;43:963-968

Conclusions • Chlorthalidone based treatment of hypertension results in improved long-term outcomes. • The diabetes related to chlorthalidone therapy has better prognosis than diabetes at baseline. • The benefit of chlorthalidone-based therapy on long-term total and CV mortality is most pronounced in hypertensive patients with diabetes. From Kostis, et al
“Intensive control of blood pressure reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients regardless of whether low- dose diuretics, B-blockers, angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors, or calcium antagonists are used as first-line treatment.” Grossman, Messerli…Arch Intern Med 2000;?60;2447-2452

“Plasma glucose levels at entry and diuretic treatment on follow-up were independent predictors of new diabetes” but" while the occurrence of new diabetes was an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk, the use of diuretics, albeit predictive of new diabetes, did not show any independent relation with the subsequent cardiovascular events.” Verdecchia, Hypertens 2004;43:963-968
