  1. Blood Pressure Management & Cardiovascular Health Mark Huffman, MD, MPH Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Northwestern Memorial Hospital Healthy Transitions 21 November 2013

  2. Blood Pressure Management & Cardiovascular Health • Normal vs. optimal blood pressure: does it make a difference? • Raised blood pressure (hypertension) rates: Global, US, Cook County, and Chicago • Diagnosis and evaluation of hypertension • Management options: 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC guidelines

  3. Blood Pressure Management & Cardiovascular Health • Normal vs. optimal blood pressure: does it make a difference? • Raised blood pressure (hypertension) rates: Global, US, Cook County, and Chicago • Diagnosis and evaluation of hypertension • Management options: 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC guidelines

  4. Normal vs. Optimal Q1: What is a normal blood pressure? Q2: What is an optimal blood pressure? Q3: What was FDR’s blood pressure in 1945?

  5. Normal vs. Optimal Q1: What is a normalblood pressure? “Normal” describes the bell-shaped distribution of a continuous measure, such as blood pressure within a population.

  10. Normal vs. Optimal Q1: What is a normal blood pressure? Q2: What is an optimal blood pressure? Q3: What was FDR’s blood pressure in 1945?

  11. Normal vs. Optimal Q2: What is an optimal blood pressure? “Optimal” describes the blood pressure that is associated with the greatest health outcomes, such as low rates of heart disease, strokes, or heart failure. (What is it? And over what time period?)

  12. Optimal Blood Pressure ~115/75 Lewington S, et al. Lancet2002;360: 1903–13.

  15. Normal vs. Optimal

  16. Signs and Symptoms of Malignant Hypertension • Evidence of end-organ damage: • Blurred vision (eyes) • Headache (brain) • Chest pain (heart) • Shortness of breath, especially when lying down (heart) • Kidney damage (kidneys) • The rate of change in blood pressure tends to be more important than the absolute level due to the body’s ability to auto-regulate one’s blood pressure.

  17. Blood Pressure Management & Cardiovascular Health • Normal vs. optimal blood pressure: does it make a difference? • Raised blood pressure (hypertension) rates: Global, US, Cook County, and Chicago • Diagnosis and evaluation of hypertension • Management options: 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC guidelines

  18. Global Blood Pressure 2008 global average adult blood pressure Men: 128.1 mmHg (126.7, 129.4) Women: 124.4 mmHg (123.0, 125.9) Between 1980 and 2008, the average blood pressure decreased each decade by: 0.8 mmHg for men 1.0 mmHg for women Danaei G, et al. Lancet 2011; 377: 568–77.

  21. Blood Pressure Management & Cardiovascular Health • Normal vs. optimal blood pressure: does it make a difference? • Raised blood pressure (hypertension) rates: Global, US, Cook County, and Chicago • Diagnosis and evaluation of hypertension • Management options: 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC guidelines

  22. How is Hypertension Diagnosed? “The diagnosis of hypertension should be based on at least 3 different BP measurements, taken on 2 separate office visits to account for the natural variability of BP and other factors that can affect BP. “To confirm the validity and reliability of the measurement, at least 2 measurements should be obtained once the patient is comfortable and settled for at least 5 minutes. BP should be measured in the sitting position with the back supported, feet on the floor, arm supported in the horizontal position, and the BP cuff at heart level.” Aronow WS, et al. Circulation 2011; 123:2434-2506.

  23. How is Hypertension Diagnosed? • Home blood pressure measurements are increasingly preferred as adjuncts to those taken in the doctor’s office. • Automatic sphygmomanometers work well; Omron, upper arm cuffs are preferred ($45-$65 on amazon.com) and are often covered by insurance. myamericanheart.org

  24. How is Hypertension Evaluated? • Homeblood pressure measurements are increasingly preferred as adjuncts to those taken in the doctor’s office. • Check your BP right after you get up in the morning (consistency helps reduce the number of variables). • On occasion, your doctor might ask you to wear a blood pressure cuff throughout an entire 24 hour period (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) to check you blood pressure throughout the day. • You can enter via MyChart to share with your blood pressure with your doctor.

  29. Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial (HYVET) • International multicenter trial; participants were ≥80 years • Baseline SBP 160 to 199 mm Hg; target BP <150/<80 mmHg • Randomized to indapamide 1.5 mg vs. placebo; could receive perindopril (2 or 4 mg) or placebo • Primary outcome: Fatal or non-fatal stroke Secondary outcomes:Total mortality, CVD death, cardiac death, stroke death, fatal/NF heart failure NEJM 2008; 358:1887

  30. Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial (HYVET) • 3845 participants; baseline blood pressure=173/91 mmHg Mean age = 83 years (range 80-105); 61% women; 12% with prior CVD Mean duration of F/U: 2 years (0 to 6.5 years) • The trial was stopped early for significant reductions in primary endpoint and all-cause mortality NEJM 2008; 358:1887

  35. 2013 AHA/ACC/CDC Recommendations Systems-level approach to hypertension control, including: Identifying all patients eligible for management Monitoring at the practice/population level Increasing patient and provider awareness Providing an effective diagnosis and treatment guideline Systematic follow-up of patients for initiation and intensification of therapy Clarifying roles of healthcare providers to implement a team approach Reducing barriers for patients to receive and adhere to medications as well as to implementing lifestyle modifications Leveraging the electronic medical record systems being established throughout the US to support each of these steps Go AS, et al.

  41. Take Home Points: Management • Home BP monitoring is preferred method of diagnosis and evaluation of treatment. • Use an automated BP machine (upper arm cuff) • Sign up for MyChart BP log • Lifestyle modification, particularly diet, can have a powerful effect on blood pressure. • Check out dashdiet.org for tips • Combination pills are being increasingly used to improve blood pressure control. • Use a pillbox to make taking your meds easier
