Introduction
• Why are we still talking about hypertension?
• Guidelines Discrepancy
• How low is too low?
• Define Resistant Hypertension
• What is the data, how to treat it?
Introduction
• Most common reason for office visits and use of prescription medications.
• NHANES (2005-2008) estimated 29-31% of adults with hypertension.
• Approx. 76.4 million Americans over the age ≥ 20 years have hypertension.

Comparison of International Guidelines on HTN Goals (mm Hg)

A scientific statement from the A scientific statement from the AHA/ACC/ASH. Circulation 2015
Treatment Of Hypertension in Patients with CAD; ACC/AHA guideline recommendation
1. <140/90 mm Hg reasonable target for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patient with hypertension and CAD ( Class IIa; level of evidence B)
2. Lower target BP (<130/80 mm of Hg) may be appropriate in some individuals with CAD, previous MI, CVA or CAD risk equivalents ( Class IIb; level of evidence B)
3. Patients with elevated DBP and CAD with evidence of myocardial ischemia, BPshould be lowered slowly, and caution advised in decreasing DBP<60 mm Hg in any patient with diabetes or age >60 yrs. ( Class IIa; level of evidence C)

Effects of Intensive Blood-Pressure Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The ACCORD Study Group. N Engl J Med 2010; 362:1575-1585
• No difference in the primary outcome composite of nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke or CVD death.
• Secondary outcome of nonfatal and fatal stroke was improved in the intensively treated verses standard groups (numbers of events small 32 Int vs 62 Std)
• Side effects of syncope and hypotension was greatest in the intensively treated group (2.6 fold)
• Hypokalemia more common in the intensively treated group
• Same number in both groups progressed to ESRD
• End of study intensively treated group had lower GFR than standard group

Intensive vs Standard Blood Pressure Control and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes in Adults Aged ≥75
Years: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Objective: To evaluate the effects of intensive (<120 mm Hg) vs standard(<140 mm Hg) SBP in patients ≥75 years with hypertension but without diabetes.
Study Design: Patients ≥75 years who participated in SPRINT. Study duration 2010-2015.
Conclusions: Among ambulatory adults aged 75 years or older, treating to an SBP target of less than 120 mm Hg compared with an SBP target of less than 140 mm Hg resulted in significantly lower rates of fatal and nonfatal major cardiovascular events and death from any cause.
Williamson JD et al. JAMA 2016;315:2673-2682.
Summary
– Primary composite outcome (myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, CHF, CV death) decreased 25% with intensive Rx.
– All cause mortality significantly lower in intensive Rx group: HR 0.73%; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.90; P=0.003.
– Hypotension, syncope, electrolyte abnormalities, and renal injury all higher in intensive Rx group (but not injurious falls).
– Application of results dependent on clinical judgment, tolerance of Rx, avoidance of associated problems, probable limitation to 4 BP medications.
– Fewer patients to meet SPRINT goals vs. 2014 but will have ↓ CV events.+
– Same intensive BP Rx benefits adults ≥75 years with ↓ CV events.#

Resistant Hypertension
• Defined as either a BP of ≥140/90 mm of Hg while using optimally dosed antihypertensive agents from 3 different drug classes( including a diuretic); or blood pressure that requires 4 or more medications to achieve control
• Differentiate from Pseudo resistance
- Inaccurate BP measurements
- Poor adherence to BP medications
- Suboptimal antihypertensive therapy i.e inadequate
doses or exclusion of diuretic.
- White coat resistance ( 35% in Spanish study- well controlled
via ambulatory monitoring)
Causes Of True Resistant Hypertension
• Extracellular volume expansion
• Increased sympathetic activation
• Ingestion of substances ex NSAIDs/stimulants
• Secondary or contributing causes of hypertension.
4/19/2017
16
Treatment; General Principles
• Identify and treat secondary hypertension
• Stop medications that raise the blood pressure
• Out-of-office blood pressure monitoring
• Non-pharmacologic therapy
Pharmacological Therapy
• Diuretics: Persistent volume expansion contributes to resistant hypertension, even among patients who have been on conventional doses of thiazides.
• Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists: provide significant antihypertensive benefit when added to existing multiple-drug regimens in patients with
resistant hypertension.

EXPERIMENTAL THERAPIES
• Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation of renal sympathetic nerves ( renal denervation) has not been established in patients with resistant hypertension
• A blinded randomized trial (SYMPLICITY-HTN-3) failed to demonstrate benefit.
EXPERIMENTAL THERAPIES
• Electrical stimulation of carotid sinus baroreceptors- or baroreflex activation therapy (BAT), may decrease blood pressure in patients with resistant HTN.
• Rheos Pivotal Trial failed in two of its five primary endpoints, it remains unapproved by the FDA for the indication of resistant
hypertension in the United States.Baroreflex activation therapy lowers blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension: Bisognano JD etal J Am Coll Cardiol.2011;58(7):765

Differences in LV mechanics drive differential response to therapy in HFpEF and HFrEF
Margaret M. Redfield et alPflugers Arch. 2014 Jun; 466(6): 1037–1053.
Conclusions
• There is Much Established Benefit from the Treatment of Hypertension.
• The age at which the goal BP< 150/90 mm of Hg remains controversial.
• Selection of the Optimal Regimen Requires Experience, Judgement, Trial/Error.
• There is diminishing support for starting with β-blocker.
• Aggressive blood pressure target of 120/80 mm of Hg safe in carefully monitored patients.
• Direct renal artery surgery has not had good results.
