Definition of hypertension

• „There is no dividing line. The relationship between arterial pressure and mortality is quantitative; the higher the pressure, the worse the prognosis.” (Pickering, 1972)

• The operational definition of hypertension is the level at which the benefit …of action exceed those of inaction.” (Rose, 1980)

Definition of hypertension

• Gauss distribution • No dividing line

Incidence of hypertension

Natural course of hypertension

Arteriosclerosis Vasc. dementia

Why is dangerous?

• Complications of hypertension– Cardiac (hypertrphy, failure, infarction)– Cerebral (ischemia, thrombosis, hemorrhage)– Renal (nephrosclerosis, failure)– Large vessel (aneurysm, dissection)– Atherosclerosis

Recommended Lifestyle Modifications and Their Individual Effects on Blood Pressure

Chobanian AV, et al. JAMA. 2003;289:2560-2572;Blumenthal JA, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2000;160:1947-1958.

Modifications* RecommendationApproximate SBP Reduction

Reduce weight Maintain normal body weight

(BMI of 18.524.9 kg/m2)320 mm Hg

Adopt DASH dietRich in fruit, vegetables, and

low-fat dairy; reduced saturated and total fat content

814 mm Hg

Reduce dietary sodium

<100 mmol (2.4 g)/day 28 mm Hg

Increase physical activity

Aerobic activity >30 min/day most days of the week

49 mm Hg

Moderate alcohol consumption

Men: ≤ 2 drinks/dayWomen: ≤ 1 drink/day

24 mm Hg

*Combining 2 or more of these modifications may or may not have an additive effect on blood pressure reduction.

SBP = systolic blood pressure; BMI = body mass index; DASH = Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension

Hypertension in emergency

• Hypertensive urgency BP > 230/130 mmHg without symptoms of

target organ damage • Hypertensive emergencyBP elevation with serious target organ

damageEg. Encephalopathy, acute heart failure,

acute coronaria sy, aortic dissection – acute BP lowering therapy needed

32

Therapy of hypertensive urgency and emergency

• Nitroglycerin (sublingual or iv.)• ACEI (captopril, enalapril p.o.)• Urapidil i.v.• Short acting nifedipine (CI: angina, AMI)

• Labetalol• Clonidin• Sodium nitroprussid• In special cases: loop diuretics
