  1. HYPERTENSION: AN OVERVIEW Prof Ahmed Mandil, Dr Hafsa Raheel KSU Dept of Family & Community Medicine

  2. Objectives By the end of this session, students should be able to: • Understand the basic concepts of hypertension • Explain the magnitude of the problem • Identify important risk factors for hypertension • Identify the important complications of hypertension • Explain important concepts of prevention and control of hypertension Hypertension

  3. Headlines • Magnitude of the problem • Risk factors • Assessment & diagnosis • Complications • Prevention and control Hypertension

  4. Magnitude ■ In developed and developing countries alike, essential hypertension affects 25-35% of the adult population. Up to 60-70% of those beyond the seventh decade of life ■ Each increment of 20 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure or 10 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease events independent of other factors. Hypertension

  5. Prevalence of Hypertension in Obese and non-Obese Saudis The study group: 14.805 males: 6225 females: 8580 The age: 14 – 70 years Non-obese prevalence: 4.8 % males 2.8 % females Obese prevalence: 8 % males 8 % females El-Hazmi M. Saudi Medical Journal 2001; 22 (1): 44-48 Hypertension

  6. Hypertension among attendants of primary health care centers in Al-Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Study sample: 1114 Prevalence: 30 % Higher among: ● Age > 40 years ● Overweight and obese people ● illiteracy Awareness: 20 % of hypertensive women 25 % of hypertensive men Khalid A et al. Saudi Med J 2001; 22 (11) 960-963 Hypertension

  7. Blood Pressure Measurement and Hypertension Diagnosis 1 in 5 adult Canadians have hypertension Over 40% of Canadians at aged 56-65 have hypertension 90% of normotensive persons aged 55-65 developed hypertension in the next 20 years in the Framingham study 2010 Canadian Hyprtension Education Program Hypertension

  8. Hypertension in the community- Rule of halves Hypertension

  9. Risk Factors Smoking Dyslipidaemia Diabetes Mellitus Obesity Age (older than 55 for men, 65 for women) Gender (men or postmenopausal women) Family History of cardiovascular disease (men under age 55 or women under age 65) Hypertension

  10. Modifiable Risk Factors for Developing Hypertension Obesity Poor dietary habits High sodium intake Sedentary lifestyle High alcohol consumption Hypertension

  11. White Black Red Yellow Green Brown Clear Table salt Soy sauce Catsup Mustard Pickles Soups & gravies Saline Colors of Salt Hypertension

  12. High Risk Subjects ► ABP ≥ 180 systolic and/or ≥ 110 diastolic ► Systolic BP > 160 with low diastolic <70 ► Diabetes mellitus ► Metabolic syndrome ►≥ 2 cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, dyslipidaemia, obesity, …..) Hypertension

  14. Types & Complications of Hypertension

  15. Types of hypertention, 2007, USA Essential * 92.0-95.0 % Secondary Chronic kidney disease 3.0-6.0 % Renovascular disease 0.2-1.0 % Pheochromocytoma 0.1-0.2 % Aldosteronism 0.1-0.3 % Cushing’s syndrome 0.1-0.2 % Coarctation 0.1-0.2 % Oral contraceptives 0.2-1.0 % * Onset in 30s and 40s, gradual onset, family history, obesity Hypertension

  16. TIA, stroke LVH, IHD, MI, HF Retinopathy Renal failure Peripheral vascular disease Complications of Hypertension: Hypertension is a risk factor TIA = transient ischemic attack; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; CHD = coronary heart disease; MI = myocardial infarction; HF = heart failure. Cushman WC. J Clin Hypertens. 2003;5(Suppl):14-22. Hypertension

  17. Assessment & Diagnosis

  18. Auscultatory method of blood pressure measurement Nokolai Korotkoff, 1905 Hypertension

  19. Noninvasive Blood Pressure Measurement Methodologies Auscultatory (K sound) - Mercury - Aneroid - Oscillometric Locations Situations - Upper arm - Clinic - Wrist - Home - Finger - Ambulatory

  20. Definitions and Classification of blood pressure The Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), 2007 Systolic Diastolic Optimal <120and<80 Normal 120–129and/or80–84 High normal 130–139 and/or85–89 Grade 1 HTN 140–159and/or 90–99 Grade 2 HTN 160–179and/or 100–109 Grade 3 HTN 180 and/or110 Isolated Systolic HTN ≥140 and <90

  21. Prevention & Control

  22. Primary Prevention – Population Strategies 1 ◘ Reduce sodium intake ◘ Healthy diet: high in fresh fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products, dietary and soluble fiber, whole grains and protein from plant sources, low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. ◘ Regular physical activity: 30-60 minutes of moderate intensity cardiorespiratory activity (e.g. a brisk walk); 5-7 days/week in addition to routine activities of daily living ◘ Low risk alcohol consumption (≤2 standard drinks/day and less than 14/week for men and less than 9/week for women) Hypertension

  23. Primary Prevention – Population Strategies 2 ◘ Maintenance of ideal body weight (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) • Waist Circumference Men Women • - EMR, Europe, Sub-Saharan African <94 cm <80 cm • - South Asian, Chinese <90 cm <80 cm ◘Prevention / cessation of tobacco use Health Education Behavioral change Hypertension

  24. Primary Prevention- High Risk approach • Tracking of blood pressure from childhood, in high risk families Hypertension

  25. Hypertension

  26. Secondary prevention • Timely diagnosis and adequate control of BP • Compliance with treatment Hypertension

  27. Usual blood pressure threshold values for initiation of pharmacological treatment of hypertension * Indications for Pharmacotherapy * Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) EXPRESS Hypertension

  28. BENEFITS OF LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE • The Clinical Trials had shown: Reduction in • STROKE35 – 40 % • MI20 – 25 % • HEART FAILURE > 50% Hypertension

  29. Conclusion ASSESS AND MANAGE CV RISK IN HYPERTENSIVES High dietary sodium intake, smoking, dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, abdominal obesity, unhealthy eating, and physical inactivity. LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION Sustained lifestyle modification is the cornerstone for the prevention and control of hypertension and the management of cardiovascular disease. Encourage patients to reduce their sodium intake. TREATING TO TARGET BP Treat blood pressure to less than <140/90 mmHg. In people with diabetes or chronic kidney disease target to <130/80 mmHg and more than one drug is usually required including diuretics to achieve BP targets. Hypertension
