2 From Population to Individual Management of Arterial Hypertension

3 Epidemiologic impact on mortality of blood pressure reduction in the population Prevalence % After Intervention Reduction in BP Before Intervention Reduction in SBP (mmhg) % Reduction in Mortality Stroke CHD Total Adapted from Whelton, P. K. et al. JAMA 2002;288:

Lancet. 2002;360:

8 "Individualized Care" Risk factors considered Non-pharmacological therapy tried Monotherapy or combination therapy is instituted Considerations for choice of initial therapy: Renin status Age Coexisting cardiovascular conditions Other conditions

9 Stratification of CV risk in four categories Blood pressure (mmhg) Other risk factors, OD or disease Normal SBP or DBP High normal SBP or DBP Grade 1 HT SBP or DBP Grade 2 HT SBP or DBP Grade 3 HT SBP 180 or DBP 110 No other risk factors Average risk Average risk Low added risk Moderate added risk High added risk 1 2 risk factors Low added risk Low added risk Moderate added risk Moderate added risk Very high added risk 3 or more risk factors, MS, OD or diabetes Moderate added risk High added risk High added risk High added risk Very high added risk Established CV or renal disease Very high added risk Very high added risk Very high added risk Very high added risk Very high added risk SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; CV: cardiovascular; HT: hypertension. Low, moderate, high, very high risa refer to 10year risk of a CV fatal or non fatal event. The term added indicates that in all categories risk is greater than average. OD: subclinical organ damage; MS: metabolic syndrome.

12 Addressing the Complexity of Hypertension

13 The Challenge of Personalized Antihypertensive Treatment How to improve prognosis to identify the patients in need of further treatment? Who to treat? How to identify more effective therapeutic opportunities tailored to the individual How patient? to treat?

24 To treat or not to treat mild hypertension treat risk not blood pressure only absolute risks and benefits are relevant to patients the payer should choose the threshold

25 High-risk patients The earlier The better Attention to all CV risks
