Epidemiology
• Level of BP directly correlates with LVH/microalbuminuria
• LVH and hypertension:• Strong predictor of sudden death and MI
• Microalbuminuria and hypertension:(Persistent urinary albumin excretion of 30-300mg/24hrs)
• Increased risk of CVD
• Marker for endothelial dysfunction

Routine Tests• Electrocardiogram • Urinalysis • Blood glucose, and hematocrit • Serum potassium, creatinine, or the corresponding estimated GFR,
and calcium• Lipid profile, after 9- to 12-hour fast, that includes high-density and
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides
Optional tests • Measurement of urinary albumin excretion or albumin/creatinine ratio
More extensive testing for identifiable causes is not generally indicated unless BP control is not achieved

RAS Inhibitor use in Hypertensive Blacks
• ACEIs/ARBs should be considered first line in patients (including blacks) with nephropathy (esp. with proteinuria) and or heart failure
• Available data suggest that RAS inhibitors are less effective in lowering BP in black hypertensives in the absence of adequate
doses of a diuretic or CCB (and in preventing clinical outcomes)• ACEI also carry increased risk of angioedema , esp. in blacks• In the absence of HF or CKD, particularly in Black hypertensives,
beta blockers, ACEI,and ARBs(and presently renin inhibitors) should be prescribed only in combination with thiazide-type diuretics or calcium channel blockers
Blood pressure measurement…
• Recognize the diagnostic limitations of traditional office blood pressure measurement..
• 24hr ambulatory BP measurement: diagnostic utility and clinical correlations…
• Understand the physiology of the arterial waveform, central BP measurement, vascular stiffness indices and pulsology in clinical practice

• Arterial stiffness measures– CBP (central BP)– AIX (Augmentation Index)– PVW(Pulse wave velocity)
• ? Evidence to change management?
• Does depend on accurate peripheral blood pressure measurement eg: BPtru / manual BP
• How to incorporate it with out interfering with the work flow?
TOP: Brachial (solid symbols) and derived central aortic (open
symbols) systolic blood pressure with time (mean, 95% CI) for patients randomized to receive atenolol ± thiazide- or
amlodipine ± perindopril-based therapy.
BOTTOM: Systolic blood pressure difference (brachial minus central aortic; mean,
95% CI) with time. For calculation of AUC, see the Data Supplement. Numbers
below abscissa represent the number of patients seen at each time point. Time represents the
duration from randomization into ASCOT to patient follow-up
visit at which tonometry measurement was made in the
CAFE study. PP indicates pulse pressure.

AIx in CKD vs. non CKD
• AIx was significantly higher in the non-CKD patients compared to the CKD patients (median AIx 27 % [18, 32] vs. 21 % [14, 29], P = 0.002).
• AIx was similar in the CKD and non-CKD groups after adjusting for age, gender, height, SBP and eGFR

The EverOnTM System
• Not another monitor, a Patient Supervision System
– Continuously observes patient’s: cardiac, respiratory, and motion status
– Alerts nurses when attention is needed
– Empowers more effective physician decisions including earlier discharge
– Improves documentation
“There is a clear, present and immediate need for an innovative, high tech system that can automatically, and without imposing upon patient comfort, track movement and vital signs and warn of possible life threatening situations.” Mark Meyers, President of California Hospital Medical Center

Take Home Points …Hypertension Update 2009
• Hypertension is sub optimally controlled in the US
• Target BP may be lower than traditionally thought
• Resistant hypertension should trigger a workup for secondary causes
• Methods for BP measurement are evolving • Home monitoring is the future for BP
