Factors to consider in Hypertension

• Treatment initiation

• Blood pressure goals

• Dietary Intervention

• Comparison of antihypertensive agents

• Special populations

– Diabetes mellitus

– Elderly

– Chronic kidney disease

8

Outcome Measures in Hypertension Trials • Major cardiac adverse events (MACE) – not standardized

• All-cause mortality, cardiac death, non cardiac death

• Myocardial infarction – fatal, non fatal

• Angina, revascularization, heart failure, hospitalization for

heart failure

• Stroke – fatal, non fatal

• End stage renal failure, doubling of serum creatinine

• Adverse effects to therapy

Landmark Trials in Hypertension

Saklayen et al. Front Cardiovas Med 2016 Feb 23;3:3

11

Factors to consider in Hypertension • Treatment initiation - VA, MRFIT

• Blood pressure goals - HDFP, HOT, SPRINT

• Dietary Intervention - MRFIT, DASH, MRC, PREDIMED

• Comparison of antihypertensive agents - TOMHS, ALLHAT,

ANBP II, ASCOT, ACCOMPLISH

• Special populations

– Diabetes mellitus - UKPDS, ACCORD

– Elderly - EWHPE, SHEP, HYVET

– Chronic kidney disease - (MDRD), AASK

JNC 8 (2014) - Focus 1. In adults with hypertension, does initiating antihypertensive

pharmacologic therapy at specific blood pressure thresholds

improve health outcomes?

2. In adults with hypertension, does treatment with

antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy to a specified blood

pressure goal lead to improvements in health outcomes?

3. In adults with hypertension, do various antihypertensive

drugs or drug classes differ in comparative benefits and

harms on specific health outcomes?

Bauchner et al. JAMA 2014;311(5):477-8

15

JNC 8 (2014) • *General population ≥60 years old, to treat to a goal of BP

<150/90 (Strong recommendation)

• General population <60 years old, to treat to BP <140/90

(Strong recommendation for DBP target 30 to 59 years old,

expert opinion for SBP target)

• CKD, to treat to BP <140/90 (Expert opinion), should include

ACEi or ARB to improve renal outcome (Moderate

recommendation)

• Diabetic, to treat to BP <140/90 (Expert opinion) James et al. JNC 8. JAMA 2014;311:507

16

Controversy around JNC 8 • JNC 8 members were commissioned by the National Heart,

Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in 2008

• In 2013, NHLBI announced that it would no longer develop

guidelines

• JNC 8 group declined partnership with AHA/ACC

• In December 2013, JNC 8 group published independently in

JAMA

• In 2015, AHA/ACC/ASH issued its scientific guideline for

hypertension

Is the picture going to get any clearer?

Recent important hypertension trials

• SPRINT (NEJM 2015)

• HOPE-3 (NEJM 2016)

• PATHWAY-2 (Lancet 2015)

21

SPRINT

Study Design

Multicenter, open label, randomized controlled trial Target SBP<120mmHg versus SBP<140mmHg Outcome – Primary composite outcome of myocardial infarction, other acute coronary syndromes, stroke, heart failure, or death from cardiovascular causes.

Population N= 9361 Non diabetic, SBP 130-180mmHg, ≥50 years old, increased risk of CV events (10-year CV risk ≥15%, clinical or subclinical CVD, eGFR 20-60 ml/min/1.73m2, >75 years old)

Duration of Follow-up

3.26 years – due to early termination of trial (planned for max 6 years)

SPRINT Research Group et al. N Engl J Med 2015;373(22):2103:16

SPRINT

Conclusion For non DM patients with high risk of CV event, SBP<120 resulted in lower rates of fatal and nonfatal major CV events and death from any cause


26

SPRINT on kidneys

The CKD patients in the intensive group had

• No reduction in CVD event rate or related mortality

• No impact on CKD progression

• Increased incidence of CKD

• Increased incidence of AKI

Fixed low doses used Intensive regimen with specific BP target

35

PATHWAY-2 Study Design

Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial Spironolactone versus doxazosin/bisoprolol/mean of both/placebo in resistant hypertension Outcome – Difference in average home BP between spironolactone and placebo, average of other 2 drugs, each of other 2 drugs respectively

Population N= 314, UK (predominant white Caucasian) Age 18 – 79, clinic SBP≥140 (≥135 for DM), or home SBP≥130 At least 3 months of maximally tolerated doses of ACEi/ARB, CCB and Diuretic


1 year, including placebo run-in and 12 weeks for each medication

PATHWAY-2 – Interesting points


42

Conclusion

• Consideration for BP target should include the CVS risk

• Target BP <140/90 in hypertensive with low CVS risk

• Consider BP <130/80 (even <120/80 if able to tolerate) for

those with high CVS risk

• Sensible assessment of benefits and risks, especially in the

elderly and CKD groups

• Close monitoring for adverse effect including renal function

• In resistant hypertension, spironolactone can be the 4th line
