CHALLENGES TO CLINICAL VALIDITY OF OFFICE BP Inherent BP Variability: over min months! • 20% SBP 10 mm Hg over 1-2 min • 4-5 office visits for BP to stabilize Inaccurate BP Measurement: Rule, not Exception! • 93% make technical errors - Mean # errors = 4 “True” or usual BP Predicts CVD Risk Out-of-office BP Office BP for Many! • White-coat HTN in 20-33% • Masked HTN in 10% AmJHypertens 2011; 24:1073 AnnIntMed 2011; 154:781 JGenIntMed 2012; 27:623

OUT-OF-OFFICE BP MEASUREMENT TO DX HTN? CHEP, 2005 2013; AHA, 2008: optional OBPM vs ABPM vs HBPM 2 Office Visits: BP ≥ 180/110 or ≥ 140/90 and CVD, DM, or CKD Yes Dx HTN No: BP = 140-179/90-99 and low risk R/O White-coat HTN: 20-33% Serial Office Visits: • 3 if BP 160/100 • 5 if BP = 140-159/90-99 24h ABPM: • Daytime BP 135/85 • 24h BP 130/80 Home BPM x 7d • Mean BP 135/85 BP < 135/85 Dx HTN CanJCard 2012; 28:270
HOME BPM: PROS AND A FEW CONS! Pros vs Office BPM: • More accurate HTN Dxin most studies • More measurements out-of-office measurements • Better CVD prediction: similar to ABPM • Meta-analysis: 8 studies; 17,688 pts; 3.2-10.9y FU • Improves BP control: systolic BP 3.4-8.9 mm Hg • AHRQ 2012 systematic review: 6 high quality studies Cons vs Office BPM: • Not yet proven to CVD events better • Expense/inadequate patient training JHypertens 2012; 30:449, 463, 1289 HypertensRes 2012; 35:750 AHRQ, 2012; #45

REDEFINE OFFICE BP MEASUREMENT: AUTOMATED OFFICE BP (AOBP)? 3 basic principles of AOBP: • Fully automated device Eliminates many technical errors • More accurate • Multiple measurements taken Controls for BP variability • More reproducible • Performed in isolation Reduces white-coat effect • Equivalent to daytime ABPM CanJCard 2012; 28:341 JHypertens 2012; 30:1894

“SALT WARS”: THE SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE AHA Presidential Advisory, Dec 2012: “The evidence base supporting recommendations for reduced sodium intake to < 1500 mg/d in the general population remains robust and persuasive.” British Hypertension Society, July 2011: “The benefits of salt reduction are clear and consistent.” Reviewer commentary, AJH, Jan 2012: “Community sodium reduction: is it worth the effort?... A concerted campaign to reduce obesity and alcohol intake may be more rewarding and less risky.” Reviewer commentary, AJH, Jan 2012: “The solution to the debate is the conduct of a large-scale, long-term clinical trial.”
“SALT WARS”: THE MEDIA/INDUSTRY RESPONSE NY Times, June 2012: “Now, salt is safe to eat.” London DailyExpress, July 2011: “Now salt is safe to eat – Health fascists proved wrong after lecturing us all those years.” Forbes.com, June 2011: “Campbell Soup increases sodium as new studies vindicate salt.”
