  1. MU FCM 7/2/07 Version 1 MU Family Medicine Algorithms • Algorithms/Pathways are based on national guidelines with modification for local practice. They do not replace clinical judgment, and should be modified as needed for best individual patient care. The goal is to improve care, not mandate treatment. Feedback is welcome, please email comments to hoganmt@missouri.edu • Algorithms: • Glycemic control/Diabetes • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) • Hypertension • Hyperlipidemia • Heart Failure

  2. MU FCM 7/2/07 Version 1 Glycemic Control A Adult DM type 2 Diet and exercise, Metformin 500 mg - 2000 mg/d(!!- renal ds, Check Creat q 12 mos)/ No 2-3 mos A1c > 7?. Monitor q 6 mos Yes Sulfonylurea - Glipizide 2.5 mg/d, max 20 mg/d , $ OR Add Glitazone-Actos 15mg/d, max 45mg/d (no hypoglycemia)!! – HF or heart disease , Check hepatic fx 3- 6 mos OR (esp if A1C> 9) Basal Insulin 10-20 u /day (Lantus pm or NPH ($) BID), titrate per fasting glucose (most effective) B 2-3 mos A1c > 7?. No Monitor q 6 mos Yes !! = Caution $ = cost preferred Pathway does not replace clinical judgment and should be modified as needed for individual patients. Maximize combination Rx, And/or intensify insulin

MU FCM 7/2/07 Version 1 A Hypertension BP >140/90 (130/80 if DM or renal dx), no secondary cause Lifestyle modifications – wt loss, DASH diet, activity, NaCl, Alcohol Other disease/indication No other disease 1. Diuretics: HCTZ 12.5-25 mg/d, then 2. B Blockers: Metoprolol 25-400 mg/d or ACE-I :Enalapril 5 -40 mg/d or lisinopril 10-80 mg/d 3. Long Acting Ca Channel Blocker: Felodipine 5-10 mg/d 4. ARB: Losartan 25 – 100 mg/d , $$ Adjust therapy every 2-8 weeks as needed DM: ACE-I Renal insufficiency- ACE-I CAD: ACE-I, B Blocker post MI Heart Failure – ACE-I or ARB , + diuretic Elderly Systolic HTN – diuretic Post MI, Angina, atrial tachycardia/fib, tremor, hyperthyroid, migraine, preop– B Blocker Adjust therapy every 2-8 weeks as needed B If not meeting targets , consider adherence, referral, or further evaluation. !! = Caution $$= cost issue Pathway does not replace clinical judgment and should be modified as needed for individual patients.
