1 The JNC 7 recommendations for initial or combination drug therapy are based on sound scientific evidence. 2 7th Joint National Committee Report on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure 3 Algorithm for Drug Treatment of Hypertension Initial Drug Choices Without Specific or Compelling Indications Stage 1 Hypertension (SBP 140–159 or DBP 90–99 mmHg) Thiazide-type diuretics for most. May consider ACEI, ARB, BB, CCB, or combination. Stage 2 Hypertension* (SBP >160 or DBP >100 mmHg) 2-drug combination for most (usually thiazide-type diuretic and ACEI, or ARB, or BB, or CCB) *Combination therapy may also be appropriate initial therapy in patients with diabetes or renal disease 4 Most of the trials upon which the JNC 7 recommendations were based were multiple drug trials. Specific recommendations for monotherapy for specific patient groups may be difficult to justify. 5 What were the results of the diuretic/ B-blocker controlled long-term hypertension treatment trials? 6 Results of Therapy % Reduction in Events ** Effect of Antihypertensive Drug Treatment on Cardiovascular Events CHF Strokes Fatal/Non-fatal LVH CVD CHD events Deaths Fatal/Non-fatal *Combined results from 17 randomized placebo controlled treatment trials (48.000 subjects) Diuretic or Beta-blocker based **All differences are statistically significant J Am Coll Cardiol. 1996;27:1214-1218; Arch Intern Med 1993;S76-S71 7 A diuretic or diuretic-based treatment regimen has • lowered blood pressure • reduced cerebro and cardiovascular events • been as well tolerated as any treatment program based on other antihypertensive regimens 8 Specific or Compelling Indications for Different Medications Indication Initial Therapy Diabetes Thiazide diuretic, BB, ACEI, ARB, CCB Chronic kidney disease ACEI, ARB Recurrent stroke prevention Thiazide diuretic, ACEI 9 Specific or Compelling Indications for Different Medications Indication Initial Therapy Heart failure Thiazide diuretic, BB, ACEI, ARB, aldosterone antagonist Post-myocardial infarction BB, ACEI, aldosterone antagonist High CAD risk Thiazide diuretic, BB, ACEI, CCB 10 JNC 7 Key Messages Thiazide-type diuretics should be initial drug therapy for most hypertensive patients, alone or combined with other medications If BP is >160/100 mmHg, therapy should probably started with two medications, one of which should be a thiazide-type diuretic 11 ALLHAT Antihypertensive Trial 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 12 ALLHAT Step 1 Agent Step 1 Treatment Protocol Initial Dose* Dose 1* Dose 2* Dose 3* Chlorthalidone 12.5 12.5 12.5 25 Amlodipine 2.5 2.5 5 10 Lisinopril 10 10 20 40 Doxazosin 1 2 4 8 * mg/day 13 Percent of Patients Who Received a Step -2 or Step-3 Medication in the ALLHAT Study 100 80 1 Year 60 3 Years 40 5 Years 20 0 Chlor Aml *JAMA 2000;283(15):1967-1973 Lis 14 ALLHAT Trial Results indicate that in hypertensive patients (mean age of 67 years) >90% can be controlled with a DBP <90 mm Hg; >60% with a SBP <140 mm Hg and >60% with BPs <140/90 mm Hg – with a less than ideal regimen. 15 Blood Pressure Differences in the ALLHAT Trial: Diuretic compared to ACE-I SBP 4 mm Hg less in Blacks 3 mm Hg less in >65 16 Cumulative Event Rates for the Primary Outcome (Fatal CHD or Nonfatal MI) by ALLHAT Treatment Group Cumulative CHD Event Rate .2 .16 RR (95% CI) p value A/C 0.98 (0.90-1.07) 0.65 L/C 0.99 (0.91-1.08) 0.81 Chlorthalidone Amlodipine Lisinopril .12 .08 .04 0 Number at Risk: Chlorthalidone Amlodipine Lisinopril 0 1 2 15,255 9,048 9,054 14,477 8,576 8,535 13,820 8,218 8,123 3 4 5 Years to CHD Event 13,102 7,843 7,711 11,362 6,824 6,662 6,340 3,870 3,832 6 2,956 1,878 1,770 7 209 215 195 17 Cumulative Event Rates for Heart Failure by ALLHAT Treatment Group Cumulative CHF Rate .15 HR (95% CI) p value A/C 1.38 (1.25-1.52) <.001 L/C 1.19 (1.07-1.31) <.001 .12 Chlorthalidone Amlodipine Lisinopril .09 .06 .03 0 0 1 2 3 4 Years to HF 5 6 7 18 Significant Differences in Outcomes in the Clinical Trials Heart Failure: Other Rx Compared to Diuretics/B-Blockers LA Nifedipine Amlodipine 2x INSIGHT 1.4x ALLHAT Verapamil (high risk) 1.3x CONVINCE 19 Monotherapy Antihypertensive monotherapy is effective in only about 40-60% of hypertensive patients, irrespective of the category of the agent that is used. Therefore, there is frequently a need for the use of two medications with different mechanisms of action.
