12 Controversy and Discord 29% of JNC-8 writers dissented Did they get the thresholds right? Performance Measures Patient Education Cases SP is a 54 yo WM who presents to your clinic for a primary care appointment. His BP today is 164/90, taken appropriately. At his last visit 3 months ago, his BP was 156/88, also taken appropriately. SP does not monitor his BP at home. Upon questioning, you find that he does not smoke, has not had any caffeine today, and took all of his morning medications. He has no complaints and is feeling well today. He has a history of T2DM, Dyslipidemia, COPD, allergic rhinitis, esophageal reflux, and osteoarthritis. What is SP s blood pressure goal? A. <130/80 B. <140/80 C. <140/90 D. <140/85 12

13 What medication, if any, would you initiate for SP s blood pressure? A. Therapeutic lifestyle changes and lisinopril 10mg daily B. Therapeutic lifestyle changes and HCTZ 25mg daily C. Therapeutic lifestyle changes and re-evaluate in 4 weeks for the need to add medication D. Therapeutic lifestyle changes and metoprolol tartrate 25mg BID How might your management change if SP were a 54yo AAM? A. Initiate therapy with lisinopril/hctz rather than lisinopril alone B. Initiate therapy with HCTZ alone C. Initiate therapy with amlodipine alone D. Initiate therapy with HCTZ and amlodipine How would your management change if SP s Scr were 2.9 (est Crcl = 28 ml/min)? A. BP goal would change to <130/80 B. Change HCTZ to furosemide C. Discontinue lisinopril D. Continue current management as all doses are appropriate for current renal function 13
