2. Objectives
• Updated recommendations regarding
definition and proper diagnosis of HTN.
• Updated guidelines for threshold of BP to start
treatment and targets of treatment
• Updated recommendations on CV risk
assessment and management
• Hypertension and comorbidities: updated
guidelines
7. Applying Class of Recommendation and Level of
Evidence to Clinical Strategies, Interventions,
Treatments, or Diagnostic Testing in Patient Care*
(Updated August 2015)
10. • One of the key risk factors for cardiovascular
disease is hypertension or raised blood
pressure.
• Hypertension already affects 1.1 billion
people worldwide (WHO 2015), leading to
heart attacks and strokes. By 2025, it is
estimated over 1.5 billion people will have
hypertension.
• Researchers have estimated that raised blood
pressure currently kills nine million people
every year.

*Factors that can be changed and, if changed, may reduce CVD risk.
†Factors that are difficult to change (CKD, low socioeconomic/educational status, obstructive
sleep apnea, cannot be changed (family history, increased age, male sex), or, if changed through
the use of current intervention techniques, may not reduce CVD risk (psychosocial stress).
CKD indicates chronic kidney disease; and CVD, cardiovascular disease.

30. Out-of-Office and Self-Monitoring of BP
COR LOE
Recommendation for Out-of-Office and Self-
Monitoring of BP
I ASR
Out-of-office BP measurements are recommended
to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension and for
titration of BP-lowering medication, in conjunction
with telehealth counseling or clinical interventions.
SR indicates systematic review.
31. Clinical indications for HBPM & ABPM
• Conditions in which white-coat hypertension is more
common, e.g.:
– Grade I hypertension on office BP measurement
– Marked office BP elevation without HMOD
• Conditions in which masked hypertension is more
common, e.g.:
– High–normal office BP
– Normal office BP in individuals with HMOD or at high total
CV risk
• When there is considerable variability in the office BP
• Evaluation of resistant hypertension

40. Hypertension and Total CV Risk Assessment
• There is also emerging evidence that
increased serum uric acid to levels lower than
those typically associated with gout (6.5-7
mg/dl) is independently associated with
increased CV risk in both the general
population and hypertensive patients.

48. Nonpharmacological Interventions
COR LOE
Recommendations for Nonpharmacological
Interventions
I A
Weight loss is recommended to reduce BP in adults
with elevated BP or hypertension who are overweight
or obese.
I A
A heart-healthy diet, such as the DASH (Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, that facilitates
achieving a desirable weight is recommended for
adults with elevated BP or hypertension.
I A
Sodium reduction is recommended for adults with
elevated BP or hypertension.
I A
Potassium supplementation, preferably in dietary
modification, is recommended for adults with elevated
BP or hypertension, unless contraindicated by the
presence of CKD or use of drugs that reduce
potassium excretion.
49. Nonpharmacological Interventions (cont.)
COR LOE
Recommendations for Nonpharmacological
Interventions
I A
Increased physical activity with a structured
exercise program is recommended for adults with
elevated BP or hypertension.
I A
Adult men and women with elevated BP or
hypertension who currently consume alcohol should
be advised to drink no more than 2 and 1 standard
drinks* per day, respectively.
*In the United States, 1 “standard” drink contains roughly 14 g of pure alcohol, which
is typically found in 12 oz of regular beer (usually about 5% alcohol), 5 oz of wine
(usually about 12% alcohol), and 1.5 oz of distilled spirits (usually about 40% alcohol).

53. Drugs for the treatment of Hypertension
• In previous guidelines 5 major drug classes (ACEIs,
ARBs, BBs, CCBs, Ds) were recommended based on
– Proven ability to reduce BP
– CV event reduction in placebo-controlled studies
– Broad equivalence in overall CV morbidity/mortality
– Conclusion that benefit predominantly derives from BP
lowering
• These conclusions have since been confirmed by recent
meta-analyses
• These guidelines thus recommend that the same 5
major classes of drugs should form the basis of
antihypertensive therapy
54. Major Novelties on antihypertensive treatment
• Increasing dose of initial monotherapy.
• Monotherapy substitution.
• “Stepped - care” approach (monotherapy with
subsequent addition of other drugs).
• Initial two drug combination treatment.
• Use of single pill combinations.
55. Rationale for initial two drug-combination therapy
in most patients
• Greater BP reduction even vs maximum dose monotherapy.
• Reduced heterogeneity of the BP response to initial
therapy.
• Steeper dose-response relationship with treatment up-
titration.
• No/small increase in risk of hypotensive episodes (even in
grade I hypertension).
• More frequent BP control after 1 year
– Better adherence to treatment
– Reduced therapeutic inertia
• Reduce CV events (grade I hypertension, HOPE-3)
56. Single-pill combination
• Already favored by 2013 ESC/ESH Guidelines
(improved adherence to treatment)
• Further supported by recent studies using
various methods to assess adherence
(direct/indirect)
• Facilitated by availability of several SPCs with a
range of doses
57. What is the best effective evidence-based
treatment strategy to improve BP control
• Use combination treatment in most patients,
especially in the context of lower BP targets
• Use single-pill-combination therapy in most
patients to improve adherence to treatment
• Above treatment algorithm, that is simple,
applies extensively and is pragmatic.
• Exceptions: BP in the high normal range and in
frail older patients
58. Core drug treatment strategy for
uncomplicated hypertension
The core algorithm is also appropriate for most patients with HMOD, CVA, DM, or PAD
71. Clinician’s Sequential Flow Chart for the Management of Hypertension
Clinician’s Sequential Flow Chart for the Management of Hypertension
Measure office BP accurately
Detect white coat hypertension or masked hypertension by using ABPM and HBPM
Evaluate for secondary hypertension
Identify target organ damage
Introduce lifestyle interventions
Identify and discuss treatment goals
Use ASCVD risk estimation to guide BP threshold for drug therapy
Align treatment options with comorbidities
Account for age, race, ethnicity, sex, and special circumstances in antihypertensive treatment
Initiate antihypertensive pharmacological therapy
Insure appropriate follow-up
Use team-based care
Connect patient to clinician via telehealth
Detect and reverse nonadherence
Detect white coat effect or masked uncontrolled hypertension
Use health information technology for remote monitoring and self-monitoring of BP
ASCVD indicates atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease; BP, blood pressure; CVD, cardiovascular
disease; and SBP, systolic blood pressure.
72. Conclusions
• BP measurement:
– Wider use of out of office BP measurement with ABPM
and/or HBPM especially HBOM, is an option to confirm
the diagnosis of hypertension, detect white coat and
masked hypertension and monitor BP control.
• Less conservative treatment of BP in older and
very old patients:
– Lower BP thresholds and treatment targets for older
patients- with emphasis on consideration of biological
rather than chronological age( i.e the importance of
frailty, independence and the tolerability of treatment).
Recommendations that treatment should never be
denied or withdrawn on basis of age, provided that
treatment is tolerated.
73. • A SPC strategy to improve BP control:
– Preferred use of two-drug combination for the initial
treatment of most patients with hypertension.
– A single pill treatment strategy for hypertension with
the preferred use of SPC therapy for most patients.
– Simplified drug treatment algorithms with the
preferred use of ACEI or ARB combined with a CCB or/
and a thiazide/thiazide-like diuretic as the core
treatment strategy for most patients, with BB used for
specific indications.
• New target ranges for BP in treated patients
– Target BP ranges for treated patients to better
identify the recommended BP target and lower safety
boundaries for treated patients according to a
patient’s age and comorbidities.
74. • Detection of poor adherence to drug therapy
– A strong emphasis on the importance of
evaluating treatment adherence as a major cause
of poor BP control.
• A key role for nurses, pharmacists in the
longer-term management of hypertension
– The important role of nurses and pharmacists in
the education, support, and follow up of treated
hypertensive patients is emphasized as part of the
overall strategy to improve BP control.
