The Pathophysiology of Hypertension
How Low should we treat BP ? Observational data
130-139/ 85- 89 120-129/ 80- 84 <120/<80 mmHg
1/28/2020 4
SPRINT NEJM (2015)
- 9361 people SBP >130 no diabetes for 3.3 y
- Randomized SBP goal 120 vs 140
- Achieved 121/69 vs 136/76 on 2.8 vs 1.8 meds
- Primary: MI, ACS, CVA, CHF, CV death
- Surprisingly, no effect on stroke, reduced mortality
Parachute Trial BMJ 2018; 363:k5094
- Do clinical trials always show the correct
result?
- 92 people randomized to jumping from an
airplane with a parachute or an empty backpack
- Parachute use did not significantly reduce
death or major injury (0% for parachute or 0% for empty backpack, p>0.9)
- This is the first and only trial testing benefit
- f a parachute, there was no benefit.
- Go back and read the methods
1/28/2020 5
SPRINT NEJM (2015)
- Lets go back and read the methods
- Nothing helpful in main paper, keep looking
- The previously published methods paper reveals that
BP was measured with an automated BP machine that measured and averaged BP when there was no clinician in the room
- This automated BP machine finds SBP values 5-13
points lower than cuff BP
- So Sprint aggressive rx 121/69 is cuff SBP 126-134
- & Sprint less aggressive 136/76 is cuff SBP 141-149
- Prior trials suggest goal ~130 with cuff, so Sprint
actually adds little to prior knowledge
- Serious adverse events (hypotension, syncope,
electrolyte anomaly, acute kidney injury, and injurious falls) sorted by pulse pressure
- Higher pulse pressure and more aggressive BP Rx
associated with more adverse events
SPRINT PP (Krishnaswami, AJM 131:1220. 2018)
1/28/2020 6
- On treatment DBP < 56 at any visit was associated
with higher MI, ACS, CVA, CHF, or death
- Occurred in both aggressive and regular BP treatment
groups
SPRINT DBP (Lee, AJM 131:1228, 2018) INVEST AIM 144:884, 2006
- 22576 patients with CAD and HBP
- Rx atenolol ± HCTz vs. verapamil ± trandolapril
- No difference in outcomes between Rx groups
- DBP <70 associated with more MI
– Blood flow to heart occurs during diastole
1/28/2020 7
- Combined Sprint and
Accord data
- Resistant HBP is use
4+ meds or BP >130/80 on 3 meds
- Most benefit in
Resistant Hypertension
SPRINT & ACCORD Resistant HBP
(Smith, AJM 131:1463, 2018)
How to decide who needs more and less BP treatment ?
- Resistant needs more BP control
- Use pulse pressure ?
- Get more data (fundoscopy, albumin
creatinine ratio, 24 hour BP monitor)
– Normal BP (low office, low home) – White Coat (high office, low home) – Hypertension (high office, high home) – Masked (low office, high home)
1/28/2020 8
Masked HT or Sustained HT worse than White coat HBP or normal BP
- 7295 people with ISH (DBP < 90) followed 10.6 years, 655 CV events
- Sustained HT = cuff >140, amb>135 Masked = cuff <140, amb>135
White coat HT = cuff >140, amb<135 Normal BP = cuff <140, amb<135

BP dipping (BP fall at night)
Cuspidi et al. J Clin HBP 19:713, 2017

– Low risk
- 2712 nondippers
(nocturnal fall 0-10%)
– Intermediate risk
- 696 reverse dipper

Which BP agent ?
- 50+ trials in mostly in moderate-severe HBP
- Thiazides better than placebo (MRC, SHEP, lots)
- Thiazides better than β blockers (MRC)
- ARB better than β blockers (LIFE)
- ACEI better dihydropyridine (StopHBP2, Insight)
- In DM, ACEI better dihydropyridine (ABCD, FACET)
- In CRI, ACEI orARB better than no (many, Renaal, Idnt)
- In CRI, ACEI better than dihydropyridine or βB (AASK)
- In mild hypertension, thiazides = ACEI = amlodipine
and all three better than α blockers
- In moderate hypertension, thiazides=ACEI/ARB >other
Beta blocker inferior to ACEI, ARB, CCB, and diuretics

Nocturnal BP (goal <120/70)
- β blockers and α blockers clearly inferior
- Do not use ACEI and ARB (ONTARGET)
– combination no benefit & more adverse effects

Non Drug Therapy
- Diet – Dash diet lowers BP 8/5 mmHg
- Weight – loss 10 kg lowers BP 10/10 mmHg
- Salt – reduction helps when on Rx
- Isotonic exercise
- Smoking cessation
- Alcohol
