Definition Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) Generic term that covers a wide range of vascular and heart-related diseases and disorders. CVD in many cases, is caused by atherosclerosis: an excess build-up of plaque on the inner wall of a large blood vessel, which restricts the flow of blood.
Cardiovascular Diseases • Hypertension • Heart Failure • CAD – angina and MI • Arrhythmia • Peripheral Vascular disease • Heart Valve disease • Shock • Endocarditis • Diseases of the aorta and its branches • Congenital Heart Disease
Prevalence of CVD(NHANES 2005-6) • In 2006, an estimated 80,000,000 American adults (one in three) have one or more types of cardiovascular disease (CVD) • 38,100,000 - 60 years or older.

Non Modifiable Risk Factors • Family History • Gender • Advancing age • Racial or Ethnic Background • Elevated levels of homocysteine
Modifiable Risk Factors • Smoking • Obesity • Lack of exercise • Diabetes • Elevated Blood Pressure • Dyslipidemia
Identify the types of patients to refer for cardiac or vascular follow-up • All adults over age 20 should be screened for heart disease risk factors every two to five years • Over weight • Elevated blood pressure • Diabetics • Cholesterol • Smoking and exercise habits • Family history.
Differences in the Manifestation of CVD between men and women • Underrepresented in randomized clinical trials • CVD not diagnosed in women • Symptoms can differ by sex and race • Outcomes can differ by sex and age • Black women less likely to receive life threatening therapies
Differences in the Manifestation of CVD between men and women • Difference in response to drug therapies • PK and PD differences • Lower body wt, smaller organ size, >fat tissues, hormone levels and differences in metabolism may affect absorption and elimination of drugs • Gender differences in enzyme activity • Adverse effects
Identify and assess cardiovascular disease risk in women Non-controllable risk factors: • Family history of coronary artery disease or stroke • Age 55 or older • Being post-menopausal, or having your ovaries removed
Identify and assess cardiovascular disease risk in women Controllable risk factors: • Obesity & Sedentary lifestyle • Smoking • Hypertension • Dyslipidemia • Diabetes
Identify and assess cardiovascular disease risk in women Controllable risk factors: • Metabolic syndrome • Complicated pregnancy • Increased C-reactive protein (CRP)
Single cell layer lining inside of arteries Plays a critical role in development of CVD Dysfunction precedes atherosclerosis Endothelium
Endothelium Function Has 4 major physiologic responsibilities: • Barrier between the blood and underlying structures, regulating the flow of substances from blood to tissue • Regulates vasomotor tone • Regulates hemostasis and fibrinolysis • Regulates inflammatory responses
Endothelium Function Endothelial cells produce both relaxing and contracting factors: NITRIC OXIDE ENDOTHELIN 1 – (ET – 1)
Endothelium Function In the physiologic state, EC’s promote vasodilation, platelet dissolution, anticoagulation, and anti-inflammation However, in the face of injury EC’s can promote vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, coagulation, and inflammation
What is Endothelial Dysfunction? • Decreased production of NO - Increased endothelial permeability - Impaired anti-coagulation and fibrinolysis - Decreased ability to deal with inflammation

Hypertension Introduction • Most common adult medical problem in the world. • Affect 65 million Americans. • Significant risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; major cause of heart failure, renal failure, and stroke.
Etiology of Hypertension • Primary (essential) hypertension: 90-95% • Secondary hypertension: 5-10% • Generally asymptomatic • No cure • Treatment generally is life-long.
TRENDS IN AWARENESS, TREATMENT AND CONTROL OF HYPERTENSION IN US (%)
How can pharmacists make a difference in hypertension? • Prevention • Identification • Treatment gap • Treatment intensity gap
Proposed Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Primary (Essential) Hypertension
Why Treat Hypertension? Target Organ damage for HTN Cardiac Cerebrovascular Peripheral vascular Renal Retinopathy
Treatment of Hypertension First Line Agents Diuretics BBs ACEI/ARB CCBs
Treatment of Hypertension Second Line agents Alpha blocker Aldosterone Receptor Blockers Centrally acting Agents Direct Vasodilators Renin Inhibitors
Beta Blockers in hypertension Various Clinical conditions Hypertension CAD HF Arrhythmia
Classes • 1st Generation – Non-selective e.g. Propranolol • 2nd Generation – selective e.g. Metaprolol, Atenolol, Bisoprolol • 3rd Generation – alpha receptor blockade and release of Nitric Oxide
Proposed Mechanisms of action • Reduction in Cardiac output by blocking adrenoreceptors • Reduction in sympathetic activity • Inhibit release of renin
BB in Uncomplicated HTN • Identifies as 1st line by many national and international guidelines e.g.. JNC7 • No evidence of reduction in morbidity and mortality • Many clinical trials show that BB may be associated with worst clinical outcomes
Older Trials(re BB) • STOP • STOP 2 • SHEP • CONVINCE • NORDIL • CAPP
Recent Trials (re BB) • British MCR • ASCOT • LIFE • Other Meta- analyses
Reasons for BB Ineffectiveness • Anti-hypertensive Efficacy • Metabolic side effects • Decreased Compliance • Cost effectiveness
