  1. Hypertension

  2. Case 1 • A 31 year old Burmese male presents with shortness of breath x2 weeks. His blood pressure is 210/130 and he has evidence of volume overload. The creatinine is 2.0 and he has severe LV dysfunction on an echo.

  3. Case 1 • After initiating appropriate therapy, which of the following studies should you consider ordering next? • MRI of the renal arteries • 24 hour urine for catecholamines and metanephrines • 24 urine for cortisol • Plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels

  4. Case 1 • What is the best first choice for management of this patients hypertension? • Hydrochlorothiazide • Lisinopril • Hydralazine, isosorbide mononitrate and furosemide • Carvedilol and lisinopril • Diltiazem and furosemide

  5. Case 2 • A 55 year old male smoker recently diagnosed with diabetes presents for a follow-up office visit. His blood pressure on the last 3 visits has been 148/85, 152/89 and 148/92. He is asymptomatic. Laboratory studies and a urinalysis are unremarkable. An EKG shows sinus rhythm.

  6. Case 2 • What is the next best step in management of this patient? • Council him to loose weight, stop smoking and exercise more • Start lisinopril 10 mg daily • Start hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily • Start metoprolol tartrate 25 mg BID • Order an echocardiogram for LV function

  7. HTN Is A Common And Costly Problem • Most common reason for non-pregnant patients to visit MD office • Most common reason for use of prescription drugs • 29-31% incidence in population > age 18 • 56-65 million hypertensives vs 43.3 million in 1990 • Only 34% have controlled blood pressure • Costs: 37 billion annually, 15.5 billion for Rx • Projected to affect 1.5 billion worldwide by 2025 Cutler. Hypertension. 2008. ALLHAT. JAMA. 2002. Kearny. Lancet. 2005.

  8. HTN Is Associated With Significant Morbidity • Estimated lifetime risk of HTN is 90% • Most common modifiable risk factor for • MI • Stroke • Aortic dissection • Heart failure • Atrial fibrillation • Peripheral arterial disease Vasan. JAMA. 2002.

  9. Definitions • Normal blood pressure • SBP < 120 and DBP < 80 • Prehypertension • SBP 120-139 or DBP 80-90 • Hypertension • Stage I: SBP 140-159 or DBP 80-89 • Stage 2: SBP > 160 or DBP > 100

  20. Physiology of Vascular Control • Goal: Maintain blood flow to important organs • Local tissue controls and overall adjustments of cardiac pumping and vascular tone • Short term blood pressure control • Cardiac output=Stroke volume x HR • Mechanisms • Arterial baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, CNS (brain ischemia) • Fluid shifts, RAS activation, vasodilator systems • Long term blood pressure control • Pressure natriuresis and diuresis • Infinite gain feedback control • All hypertension somehow alters this mechanism

  28. Risk Factors: Essential Hypertension • Black race • Family history • Salt intake • Excess alcohol intake • Obesity • Dyslipidemia • Personality traits

  29. Diagnosis • Screening • Every two years in normal • Every year in SBP > 120 • Diagnose after 3-6 measurements • “White coat hypertension” • 20-25% of mild office hypertension • Ambulatory BP monitoring • White coat HTN • Episodic HTN • Resistant to increasing medication • Hypotensive symptoms on treatment • Autonomic dysfunction

  30. Initial Assessment • Extent of target organ damage • Assess overall cardiovascular risk • Rule out modifiable causes of HTN • History and physical • Studies • EKG • Labs: UA, Hgb, Gluc, Cr, K+, Na+, lipids

  31. Suspect Secondary Causes of HTN • Suggested by: age, history, exam, severity, lab findings • Poor response to drug therapy • Previously controlled becomes resistant • Sudden onset

  32. Secondary Hypertension • Renal disease • Drugs and alcohol • Pheochromocytoma • Primary hyperaldosteronism • Renovascular • Cushings • Thyroid and parathyroid disease • Sleep disordered breathing • Coarctation of the aorta

  33. Hints to Secondary Causes • Renal disease • Increased creatinine or abnormal UA • OCPs, NSAIDS, diet pills, decongestants, stimulants, stroids, herbals, calcineurin inhbitors, antidepressants • Pheochromocytoma • HTN (paroxysmal), HA, palpitations, sweating • Primary aldosteronism • Hypokalemia • Cushings • Cushingoid facies, central obesity, proximal muscle weakness, ecchymosis • Sleep apnea • Snoring and apnea, daytime somnolence, morning confusion , depression • Coarctation • UE HTN, brachial-femoral delay, LW hypotension • Hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism

  34. Screening Tests for Secondary Causes

  35. Pheochromocytoma • Paroxysmal hypertension in 50% of pheo patients • Present in about 0.2% of patients with HTN • Headache, palpitations, perspiration, pallor • Screen with 24 urine • Metanephrines • Epinepherine • Treat with surgery Verrijcken. Am J Card. In Press.

  36. Renal Artery Stenosis • Most common after obesity and EtOH • Rare in mild HTN, 10-45% of severe HTN • Renal artery stenosis • HTN age < 30 without family history, severe HTN with onset after 55 • Abdominal bruit • Accelerated HTN • Progressively resistant HTN • Flash pulmonary edema • RF of uncertain etiology • ARF after ACE-I • Asymmetric kidney size • Screen with RA CT, US or MRI • Treatment • Medical • Angioplasty or stenting Zhang. Progress in CV disease. 2009

  37. Hyperaldosteronism • 10-20% in resistant HTN • 50% normokalemic • Screen • Plasma renin activity (low) • Plasma aldo/renin (high) • Confirmatory test • Surgery • Medical • Mineralocorotoid antagonist Kumar. Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease. 8th Ed.

  38. Coarctation Of The Aorta • 6-8% of all congenital heart defects • More common in males • Associated with bicuspid valve, Turners syndrome, other congenital heart disease and intracranial aneurysms • BP and pulse variation • 75% mortality at 46 years if uncorrected • CT, echo diagnosis • Surgical or percutaneous repair Libby. Braunwald’s Heart Disease. 8th Ed.

  39. Sleep Apnea • 15 million Americans affected • Increased CV mortality • 50% of OSA have HTN • 30% of HTN have OSA • BP improves with OSA Tx Somers. JACC, 2008.

  40. Goals of Therapy • Reduce cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality • Treat to goal < 140/90 • For diabetics and heart disease, <130/80

  41. Benefits of Blood Pressure Lowering • For stage I HTN (140-159/90-99) and one risk factor, sustained 12 mmHg lowering over 10 years prevents one death per 11 patients Chobanian. JAMA. 2003.

  43. Effects Of Lifestyle Interventions On HTN: Premier Trial Premier Collborative Group. JAMA, 2003.

  44. Salt Reduction Bibbins-Domingo. NEJM. 2010.

  45. Approach to Medical Therapy • Major drug categories • Thiazide diuretics • ACE-I or ARB • Calcium channel blockers • Beta blockers • Direct Vasodilators • Blood pressure reduction is important NOT agent used • Wide interpatient variability in response to therapy • Find regimen that is most effective with fewest side effects • Why we don’t succeed: lack of lifestyle modification, inadequate drug dose, inappropriate drug combinations

  46. ALL HAT Trial • Designed to compare older cheaper agents with newer ones • 33,357 subjects 55 or older • HTN and one additional cardiac RF • Randomly assigned to chlorthalidone, amlodipine, lisinopril or doxazosin • Doxazosin stopped early for increased CHF • Primary outcome: fatal heart disease or non-fatal MI ALLHAT. JAMA. 2002.

  47. Thiazide Diuretics First Are Best: ALLHAT • Chlorthalidone • Lower heart failure than amlodipine and lisinopril • Lower combined CV disease than lisinopril • Benefits likely secondary to better BP control • Chlorthalidone is different than HCTZ • Different potency and duration of action
