  1. ALLHAT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute STROKE RESULTS The Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT) Suzanne Oparil, Barry Davis, Chuke Nwachuku, Sara Pressel, Michael Alderman, David Calhoun, William Cushman, Jeffrey Cutler, Allan Ellsworth, Herbert Fendley, Stanley Franklin, Gabriel Habib, Frans Leenen, Jeffrey Probstfield, Sithiporn Sastrasinh for the ALLHAT Collaborative Research Group Suzanne Oparil, M.D.American Heart Association November 14, 2005

  2. ALLHAT AntihypertensiveTrial Design • Randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical trial • Determine whether occurrence of fatal CHD or nonfatal MI is lower for high-risk hypertensive patients treated with newer agents (CCB, ACEI, alpha-blocker) compared with a diuretic • 42,418 high-risk hypertensive patients ≥ 55 years

  3. ALLHAT Criteria For Stroke • Unequivocal objective findings of localizing neurologic deficit (+/- recent onset severe headache and loss of consciousness) • Duration >24 hrs, and • Absence of other disease process causing neurologic deficit, e.g., neoplasm, subdural hematoma, cerebral angiography, metabolic disorder OR • Abnormality on CT or MRI consistent with current neurologic symptoms or signs, OR • Positive lumbar puncture ALLHAT Manual of Operations 5.4.2

  4. ALLHAT Criteria For Fatal Stroke Death certificate listing stroke as consistent with, underlying or immediate cause of death, PLUS one or more: • Preterminal hospitalization with stroke as defined above • Previous stroke and no known potentially lethal non-cerebrovascular disease process and /or • Stroke diagnosed as cause of death at post-mortem examination ALLHAT Manual of Operations 5.4.2

  5. ALLHAT Concordance Between Clinical Sites And Endpoints Committee For Stroke Diagnosis • End points committee reviewed a 10% subset of hospitalized strokes for accuracy of the discharge diagnosis • Strokes reviewed:  153 • Confirmed by subcommittee:  129 (84%) • The diagnosis as originally submitted by the investigator was the diagnosis of record

  19. ALLHAT BP Differences: Lisinopril vs Chlorthalidone • Mean follow-up SBP for all participants was 2 mm Hg higher in the lisinopril group than the chlorthalidone group, 4-5 mm Hg higher in Blacks and 1-2 mm Hg higher in non-Blacks. • Adjustment for follow-up BP as time-dependent covariates in a Cox proportional hazards regression model slightly reduced the RR for stroke overall (1.15 to 1.12) and in the black subgroup (1.40 to 1.35), but the results remained statistically significant.

  20. ALLHAT BP differences: Lisinopril versus Chlorthalidone (continued) • Prospective observational studies* predict 2 mm Hg → 6% lower stroke mortality vs 15% observed effect • Based on the same data, 4 mm Hg difference in Blacks would predict 12% lower stroke mortality vs 40% observed *Prospective studies collaboration. Lancet 2002;360:1903.

  21. ALLHAT Predictors of Stroke –Categorical Variables

  22. ALLHAT Predictors of Stroke –Continuous Variables

  23. ALLHAT CONCLUSION • CCBs and ACE inhibitors are not superior to thiazide-type diuretics for preventing fatal or nonfatal stroke • Among Blacks, diuretic-based treatment is superior to ACE inhibitor-based treatment in stroke prevention • Among Blacks and women, CCB-based treatment is superior to ACE inhibitor-based treatment in stroke prevention

  24. ALLHAT Antihypertensive Trial:Implications • Diuretics should be the drug of choice for initial therapy of hypertension. • For the patient who cannot take a diuretic (which should be an unusual circumstance), CCB’s and ACEI’s may be considered. • In Black hypertensives whose major risk is for a CVD event, thiazide-type diuretics (or CCBs in those who cannot take a diuretic) are recommended over ACEIs • Most hypertensive patients require more than one drug. Diuretics should generally be part of the antihypertensive regimen. Lifestyle advice should also be provided.

  27. ALLHAT Secondary Outcomes • All-cause mortality • Stroke • Combined CHD – nonfatal MI, CHD death, coronary revascularization, hospitalized angina • Combined CVD – combined CHD, stroke, lower extremity revascularization, treated angina, fatal / hospitalized / treated CHF, hospitalized or outpatient PAD • Other – renal (reciprocal serum creatinine, ESRD, estimated GFR) and cancer

  28. ALLHAT Definition of Stroke Rapid onset of persistent neurologic deficit attributable to an obstruction or rupture of the arterial system, including stroke occurring during surgery, that is not known to be secondary to brain trauma, tumor, infection or other non-ischemic cause. • >24 hrs unless death or typical lesion on CT or MRI scan • Carotid endarterectomy or angioplasty ALLHAT Manual of Operations 5.4.2

  29. ALLHAT Discovery Of APossible Stroke Event • Study investigators submit an end points questionnaire to the CTC • For end points involving death or hospitalization, death certificate, hospital discharge summary or face sheet with the diagnosis is required • End points committee reviews a 10% subset of hospitalized strokes for accuracy of the discharge diagnosis ALLHAT Manual of Operations 5.4.2
