2014 Hypertension Guideline Management Algorithm Adult aged ≥18 years with hypertension Implement lifestyle interventions (continue throughout management). Set blood pressure goal and initiate blood pressure lowering-medication based on age, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). General population (no diabetes or CKD) Diabetes or CKD present Age ≥60 years Age <60 years All ages Diabetes present No CKD All ages CKD present with or without diabetes Blood pressure goal SBP <150 mm Hg DBP <90 mm Hg Blood pressure goal SBP <140 mm Hg DBP <90 mm Hg Blood pressure goal SBP <140 mm Hg DBP <90 mm Hg Blood pressure goal SBP <140 mm Hg DBP <90 mm Hg Nonblack Black All races Initiate thiazide-type diuretic or ACEI or ARB or CCB, alone or in combination.a Initiate thiazide-type diuretic or CCB, alone or in combination. Initiate ACEI or ARB, alone or in combination with other drug class.a Select a drug treatment titration strategy A. Maximize first medication before adding second or B. Add second medication before reaching maximum dose of first medication or C. Start with 2 medication classes separately or as fixed-dose combination.
Recommendation 1 • In the general population ≥60 years of age, initiate pharmacologic treatment to lower BP at SBP ≥150 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <150 mm Hg and goal DBP <90 mm Hg. • Strong Recommendation – Grade A • Corollary Recommendation: In the general population ≥60 years of age, if pharmacological treatment for high BP results in lower achieved SBPs (for example, <140 mm Hg) and treatment is not associated with adverse effects on health or quality of life, treatment does not need to be adjusted. • Expert Opinion – Grade E

*Factors that can be changed and, if changed, may reduce CVD risk. †Factors that are difficult to change (CKD, low socioeconomic/educational status, obstructive sleep apnea, cannot be changed (family history, increased age, male sex), or, if changed through the use of current intervention techniques, may not reduce CVD risk (psychosocial stress). CKD indicates chronic kidney disease; and CVD, cardiovascular disease.

Recommendations for Treatment of Hypertension in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Significance of Out of Office BP Readings • A major reason is to identify patients on no antihypertensive medication with: • Guideline calls for greater use of out of office BP measurements (ABPM or HBPM) for both the diagnosis and management of hypertension. • White Coat Hypertension (WCH) with elevated office BPs who may not require drug treatment and • Masked Hypertension (MH) with normal office readings who should be considered for drug treatment • In addition, in those on antihypertensive medications, to identify • White Coat Effect (WCE) – where office BPs are significantly higher than out of office readings • Masked Uncontrolled Hypertension (MUCH) –office readings indicate adequate BP control but out of office readings elevated
2017 ACC/AHA/+ Hypertension Guidelines Diagnosis • New BP Categories: <120/80, 120-129/<80 HBP, 130-139/80-89 S1, >140/90 S2 • Out of Office BP measurement and Telehealth counseling recommended Therapy • Lifestyle modification recommended for HBP, S1 and S2 with meds based on risk/ASCVD • Meds recommended when BP > 130/80 with clinical CVD or ASCVD 10 yr Risk > 10% • If no clinical CVD and ASCVD 10 yr Risk < 10 % Meds recommended when BP > 140/90 Management • Target <130/80 for ASCVD or 10 yr Risk > 10%. (<130/80 target may be useful for lower risk) • First line agents for treating BP are Thiazide diuretics, CCB, ACEI and ARBs (BB for CI) • For Stage 2 HTN when BP > 20/10 above target use 2 first line agents After Cifu and Davis, JAMA 2017; 318 2132
Measure office BP accurately • Detect white coat hypertension or masked hypertension by using ABPM and HBPM • Evaluate for secondary hypertension • Identify target organ damage • Introduce lifestyle interventions • Identify and discuss treatment goals • Use ASCVD risk estimation to guide BP threshold for drug therapy • Align treatment options with comorbidities • Account for age, race, ethnicity, sex, and special circumstances in antihypertensive treatment • Initiate antihypertensive pharmacological therapy • Insure appropriate follow-up • Use team-based care • Connect patient to clinician via telehealth • Detect and reverse nonadherence • Detect white coat effect or masked uncontrolled hypertension • Use health information technology for remote monitoring and self-monitoring of BP • (ABPM = ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; • HBPM = Home Blood Pressure monitoring) Plan of Care for Hypertension
Patient Question - Hypertension 38 yo AA M BP= 138/82, Non- Smoker BMI =31, type 2 DM, no Albuminuria, 10 yr Risk 8.5% Which is correct? A- Patient should be treated with lifestyle modification with major focus on weight loss, follow BP and Risk to be certain BP remains < 140 systolic and risk remains < 10% B – Start HCTZ with target systolic BP < 130 mm Hg

Association between SBP/DBP and CVD risk • Several meta-analyses have reported a gradient of progressively higher CVD risk going from normal BP to elevated BP to hypertension. Guo et. al.
