APPROACH TO HYPERTENSION
![Page 2: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
DEFINITION• Persistent elevation of
– Systolic BP of 140 mmHg or greaterAnd/ or
– Diastolic BP of 90 mmHg or greaterBP (mmHg) systolic diastolic
Normal <120 <80
Pre hypertension 120-139 80-89
HPT Stage 1 140-159 90-99
HPT Stage 2 ≥160 ≥100
Based on average of two or more properly measured, seated BP readings on 2 or more office readings

Patient Evaluation
• Objectives:– To assess lifestyle and identify cardiovascular risk
factors or concomittant disorder that may affect prognosis and treatment
– To reveal identifiable cause of HPT– To assess the presence of target organ damage.

TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE (TOD)
• Heart– Left ventricular hypertrophy– Angina or prior myocardial infarction– Prior coronary revascularization– Heart failure
• Brain– Stroke or transient ischaemic attack
• Chronic kidney disease• Peripheral artery disease• Retinopathy
![Page 5: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SECONDARY CAUSES• Sleep apnoea• Drug-induced or drug-related• Chronic kidney disease• Renovascular disease• Endocrinopathies
– Primary aldosteronism– Phaeochromocytoma– Cushing syndrome– Acromegaly– Thyroid and parathyroid disease
• Coarctation of the aorta• Takayasu arteritis
![Page 6: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HISTORY
• Duration and level of elevated BP if known• Symptoms of secondary causes of HPT• Symptoms of target organ damage• Symptoms of concomitant disease• Family history• Dietary history• Drug history• Lifestyle and social history
![Page 7: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
• General (height, weight, waist circumference)• Appropriate BP measurements• Fundoscopy-hypertensive retinopathy:
– grade 1: tortous artery– grade 2: A-V nipping, – grade 3: flame hemorrhage and cotton woolspots, – grade 4: papillloedema
• Bruit and peripheral pulses• Systems examination (cardiovascular, respiratory,
abdomen, neurological examinations)• Lower limb edema

INVESTIGATIONS• Full blood count• Renal function tests ( urea, creatinine, serum
electrolytes, and uric acid)• Urinalysis• ECG• Chest x-ray

Lifestyle modification
Not at Goal BP
Initial drug choices
With compelling indication
Drugs for the compelling indication
Without compelling indication
Stage II
-2-drugs combination-Usually thiazide diuretics with ACE-i/ARB/BB/CCB

TREATMENT
• LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION– Reduction of weight– Adopt DASH eating plan– Dietary sodium reduction– Physical activity– Reduction of alcohol consumption
• PHARMACOLOGIC – ACE-I, ARB, BB, CCB, Diuretics
![Page 11: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lifestyle Modification
• Weight reduction– As far as possible, aim ideal BMI– Asians – 18.5 – 23.5 kg/m2
– Reduction of 5-10% in 6-12 months– As little as 4.5 kg significantly reduce BP
• Sodium intake restriction– Intake of <100 mmol of sodium or 6g of sodium
chloride a day (<1¼ tsp of salt)
![Page 12: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lifestyle Modification
• Avoidance of alcohol– Intake ≤21 units (men) and ≤14 units (women) per
week.
• Regular physical exercise– Aerobic type of exercise e.g. brisk walking for 30-
60 minutes at least 3 times a week.
![Page 13: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lifestyle Modification
• Healthy eating– Diet rich in fruits, vegetables and dairy products
with reduced saturated and total fat can lower BP– BP 11/6 mmHg in hypertensive patients

Types of Antihypertensive Drugs1) ACE-i
- in patient with increased cardiovascular risk, ACE-I to reduce morbidity and mortality- prevent onset of microalbuminuria, reduce protenuria, and progression of renal disease- side effect: cough and angioedema.- serum creatinine should be checked before initiation and repeated after one or two weeks after initiation.

• 2) Angiotensin Receptor Blocker- Recommended in ACEi intolerance patient- Preventing progression of diabetic
retinopathy, and reduce major cardiac events.- Less side effect of dry cough

3) Beta blocker- Useful in hypertensive patient with angina,
tachyarrhytmia, or previous myocardial infarction
- Contraindicated in obstructive airway disease, severe peripheral vascular disease and heart block.
- Side effect: dyslipidemia, hypoglycemia, increase incidence of new onset of DM, erectile dysfunction and cold extremities.

4) Calcium channel blocker- Use as first line treatment and other
combination with other drug- No undesirable adverse metabolic effect - Adverse effect: initial tachycardia, headache,
flushing, constipation and ankle edema

• 5) Diuretics
- most widely used antihypertensive agents- Patient with essential hypertension and normal renal
function, thiazide are more potent than loop diuretics- Patient with renal insufficiency, thiazide are less
effective, and loop diuretics are to be used instead.- Potassium sparing diuretics may cause hyperkalemia if
given together with ACEi or ARBs- Side effets: increased serum cholesterol, glucose and
uric acid. Decreased potassium, sodium and magnesium level

HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY• Severe elevation in BP (usually >180/120) complicated
by evidence of progressive target organ dysfunction• Target organ dysfunction includes:
I. Hypertensive encephalopathyII. Hypertensive Lt ventricular failure(acute pulmonary
edema)III. Acute aortic dissectionIV. ACS / Acute MIV. Haemorrhagic / Ischaemic Stroke / SAHVI. Acute renal failureVII. Eclampsia

HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY
• Situations associated with severe elevation in BP without progressive target organ dysfunction
JNC 7
![Page 29: Approach to Hypertension](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/577cceb51a28ab9e788e2ea5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Is it HPT emergency or urgency?• History• Is the BP measurement correct?• Any evidence of end organ damage?• Physical examination:
– Fundoscopy– Neurological examinations– Cardiovascular examinations
• Bedside ix– ECG– Urine dipstick-proteinuria– UPT in woman of child bearing age
• Lab ix : FBC, BUSE/CREAT, CE accordingly• Radiology
– CXR – CT brain

Management
• Hypertensive emergency– BP to be reduced by 25% over 3 to 12 hours but
not lower than 160/90 mmHg– best achieved with parenteral drugs

Disposition
• HPT emergency– Admit to ICU in consultation with general
medicine and respective subspecialities• HPT urgency
– Can be discharge if response is prompt and BP acceptable after 4hours monitoring, but must arrange for follow up within 48 hours
– Newly diagnosed HPT with uncertain cause, admit for further evaluation and exclusion of 2ry causes
