1 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement William B. White, MD Professor of Medicine and Chief, Hypertension and Clinical Pharmacology Calhoun Cardiology Center University of Connecticut School of Medicine Farmington, Connecticut Immediate Past President, American Society of Hypertension Objectives of the Presentation To understand the 3 key forms of blood pressure measurement To assess the relations among clinic, home and 24 hour blood pressure To review the utility of ambulatory blood pressure in clinical practice To determine when to incorporate outof-office measurement in hypertension management Clinic Methods of Measuring BP: Pros and Cons Pros Ease of measurement Associated with clinical trial outcome data Cons Lack of reproducibility White-coat effect Masked hypertension Home (self) ABPM Inexpensive Empowers patient involvement in his/her own care Large number of measurements obtained Sleep measurements obtained Provides the ability to evaluate drug treatment effect Little outcome data Can cause patient anxiety Device variability Most expensive blood pressure method Inconvenient for patient to do repeatedly 1

Prehypertension average SBP or DBP levels that are greater than or equal to the 90th percentile, but less than the 95th percentile. Adolescents with BP levels greater than or equal to 120/80 mmhg should be considered prehypertensive. The fourth report; Pediatrics 2004 Prevalence of Childhood Hypertension Based on BP >95 th % predicted prevalence of pediatric hypertension is 5% (single BP measurement). With repeat measurement the prevalence had been expected to be 1-3% Data from screening >20,000 high school students (3 BP measurements) found 3.2% prevalence. (McNiece, J. Peds 2007) Analysis of data from electronic medical records of >14,000 well children with repeat BP measurements found 3.5 % prevalence of hypertension and approximately 3.5% prevalence of prehypertension.

Weber, MD State University of New York Downstate College of Medicine Speaker Disclosures I disclose that I am a Consultant for: Ablative Solutions, Astellas, Boston Scientific, Eli Lilly, Medtronic, Novartis, ReCor Rationale for Renal Denervation Action of renal nerves is to: Stimulate renin release Increase sodium reabsorption Increase central sympathetic outflow Thus, ablating renal nerves will reduce BP by: Decreasing activity of renin-angiotensin system Enhancing natriuresis Decreasing systemic sympathetic activity 1

20 7/11/2016 Our View of Renal Nerve Distribution Has Changed Renal nerves may have a positional bias on radial distance from arterial lumen: distal nerves are closer Distal Proximal Prior concept Uniform radial distribution Distal Proximal Current concept Non-uniform radial distribution Sakakura K, et al., JACC 2014; 64: Lessons Learned Cannot get reliable results when an inconsistent technique is applied to an ill-defined clinical condition Solution Optimize catheter designs to ensure full circumferential effects Establish rigorous standards of procedural technique: should we go beyond main renal artery? Study carefully defined hypertensive populations Use trial designs that effectively measure the effects of treatment on high blood pressure Methods for Renal Denervation CATHETER-BASED (within renal arteries) Radio-frequency ablation Ultrasound energy Delivery of neurolytic agent through renal artery wall EXTERNAL Focused ultrasound energy 3

Which Populations to Study Start with uncomplicated patients with Stage 1 or 2 hypertension: Untreated systolic BPs mmhg WHY?

Systolic hypertension in the elderly SNS=sympathetic nervous system Weber MA. TCT Meetings, 2015 Condition poorly defined True TRH is rare No consistent evidence that RDN superior to expert drug therapy Improved RDN studies are ongoing Improvement in long term BP control could justify cost of intervention SNS is a factor Condition responds well to drugs RDN could simplify care if ablation energy can cross atherosclerotic renal artery walls Indications for Renal Denervation (2) (Looking to the Future) Indication Comment 4. Hypertension in young adults High SNS activity often characterizes this condition Early evidence for left ventricular changes, arterial stiffness etc. RDN could potentially improve lifelong natural history of hypertension 5. Hypertension associated with CKD 6. Atrial fibrillation and heart failure Early evidence that RDN can reduce rate of loss of renal function These indications already being studied independently of hypertension SNS=sympathetic nervous system; CKD=chronic kidney disease Weber MA.
