7 Landscape of hypertension guidelines

8 Recent hypertension guidelines 2011 Dutch CVRM 2011 NICE 2012 KDIGO 2013 ESH/ESC 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC 2014 ASH/ISH 2014 CHEP 2014 ADA 2014 JNC 8

9 Which one to follow in the Netherlands?

10 JNC 8

11 Development of JNC 8 Commissioned by the NHLBI in 2008 Panel members appointed Developed focused critical questions relevant to practice Systematic search of pertinent literature Limited to RCTs between 1966 and 2009 Adults 18 years with hypertension Sample size 100 patients Follow-up 1 year Only relevant outcomes (death, MI, stroke, HF, ESRD) Subsequent search from 2009 to 2013 with 2000 patients

12 Main questions Does initiating antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy at specific blood pressure thresholds improve health outcomes? =>When to start therapy? Does treatment with antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy to a specified blood pressure goal lead to improvements in health outcomes? =>Which BP goal? Do various antihypertensive drugs or drug classes differ in comparative benefits and harms on specific health outcomes? =>Which drug to choose?

13 Graded recommendations A: Strong B: Moderate C: Weak D: Against E: Expert Opinion N: No recommendation

14 Dissenting editorial 5/17 (29%) authors JNC 8 Insufficient evidence to increase target SBP to 150 mmhg Expertise vs. scientific evidence Wright, Ann Intern Med 2014

15 Development of JNC 8 Report sent by NHLBI for external review Revision report and resubmission to NHLBI NHLBI decides that it will no longer publish clinical guidelines Report handed over to AHA/ACC Appointed panel members for JNC 8 decided not to wait and publish their findings independently Published online in JAMA in December 2013

16 Definition of hypertension

17 2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension Definitions and classification of office BP levels (mmhg)* Hypertension: SBP >140 mmhg ± DBP >90 mmhg Category Systolic Diastolic Optimal <120 and <80 Normal and/or High normal and/or Grade 1 hypertension and/or Grade 2 hypertension and/or Grade 3 hypertension 180 and/or 110 Isolated systolic hypertension 140 and <90 * The blood pressure (BP) category is defined by the highest level of BP, whether systolic or diastolic. Isolated systolic hypertension should be graded 1, 2, or 3 according to systolic BP values in the ranges indicated. The Task Force for the management of arterial hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) - J Hypertension 2013;31: Medical Education & Information for all Media, all Disciplines, from all over the World Powered by

18 Definitions Stage 1 hypertension: Clinic blood pressure (BP) is 140/90 mmhg or higher and ABPM or HBPM average is 135/85 mmhg or higher. Stage 2 hypertension: Clinic BP 160/100 mmhg is or higher and ABPM or HBPM daytime average is 150/95 mmhg or higher. Severe hypertension: Clinic BP is 180 mmhg or higher or Clinic diastolic BP is 110 mmhg or higher.

19 Diagnosis of hypertension

20 2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension Office BP measurement When measuring BP in the office, care should be taken: To allow the patients to sit for 3 5 minutes before beginning BP measurements To take at least two BP measurements, in the sitting position, spaced 1 2 min apart, and additional measurements if the first two are quite different. Consider the average BP if deemed appropriate To take repeated measurements of BP to improve accuracy in patients with arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation To use a standard bladder (12 13 cm wide and 35 cm long), but have a larger and a smaller bladder available for large (arm circumference >32 cm) and thin arms, respectively To have the cuff at the heart level, whatever the position of the patient When adopting the auscultatory method, use phase I and V (disappearance) Korotkoff sounds to identify systolic and diastolic BP, respectively To measure BP in both arms at first visit to detect possible differences. In this instance, take the arm with the higher value as the reference To measure at first visit BP 1 and 3 min after assumption of the standing position in elderly subjects, diabetic patients, and in other conditions in which orthostatic hypotension may be frequent or suspected To measure, in case of conventional BP measurement, heart rate by pulse palpation (at least 30 s) after the second measurement in the sitting position BP, blood pressure.

35 Which drug to choose?

36 JNC 8: first line drug 6. In the general nonblack population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide, CCB, ACEI or ARB (B). 7. In the general black population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide or CCB (general black population: B; black patients with diabetes: C). 8. In the population 18 years with CKD, initial (or add-on) antihypertensive treatment should include an ACEI or ARB to improve kidney outcomes (B).

37 First line drug in different guidelines BP Goal CVRM 2011 NICE 2011 ESC/ESH 2013 ASH/ISH 2014 JNC Non-black (no DM or CKD) <50: ACEI, ARB >50: CCB, thiazide <55: ACEI, ARB >55: CCB Thiazide, ACEI, ARB, CCB, BB <60: ACEI, ARB >60: CCB, thiazide Thiazide, ACEI, ARB, CCB Black (no DM or CKD) Thiazide, CCB Thiazide, CCB Thiazide, CCB Thiazide, CCB Thiazide, CCB Diabetes Thiazide - ACEI, ARB ACEI, ARB, CCB, thiazide ACEI, ARB, CCB, thiazide CKD ACEI, ARB - ACEI, ARB ACEI, ARB ACEI, ARB

41 Conclusions Landscape of sometimes confusing hypertension guidelines Mandatory use of ambulatory BP measurements still lacking BP goal in general: years: <140/90 >80 years: <150/90 Most patients need 2 drugs, so combination of thiazide, ACEI/ARB, CCB often needed Use guidelines as framework and keep thinking!
