5 An example of the reduction in the regression to the mean (RTM) effect due to taking multiple baseline measurements and using each subject's mean as the selection variable. Barnett A G et al. Int. J. Epidemiol. 2005;34: IJE vol.34 no.1 International Epidemiological Association 2004; all rights reserved.

6 What Does this all mean? A single clinical BP is subject to random error To decrease random error we need to sample more frequently - Clinic samples, Home BP measurements, Ambulatory BPM

7 The initial evaluation of a patient with hypertension should 1. confirm the diagnosis of hypertension 2. detect causes of secondary hypertension 3. Assess CV risk and end-organ damage

8 Important Rule -Outs OSA do an Epworth Sleepiness Scale Dietary excesses salt, liqorice etc Alcohol intake NSAIDs, Antidepressants, OCP, Venlafaxine, immune suppressants, steroids Endocrine Cushings, Conns, Hypo/hyperthyroidism, Hyperparathyroidism CKD Phaeochromocytoma Renal Artery Stenosis, Coarctation Some dietary and herbal supplements (e.g., ginseng, ephedra, ma huang, bitter orange)

12 New aspects Roles of ABPM and HBPM Update of the prognostic significance of night-time BP, white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension. Initiation of antihypertensive treatment. Target BP for treatment. More evidence-based criteria and unified target systolic blood pressure (SBP) (<140 mmhg) in both higher and lower CV risk patients. New therapeutic algorithms for achieving target BP. Revised recommendations on treatment of hypertension in the elderly. Special attention to resistant hypertension and new treatment approaches.

13 Actual age-adjusted rates for men aged years related to systolic blood pressure (based on age-specific rates in Framingham study). Makridakis S, and DiNicolantonio J J Open Heart 2014;1:e by British Cardiovascular Society

14 Stratification of total CV risk in categories of low, moderate, high and very high risk according to SBP and DBP and prevalence of RFs, asymptomatic OD, diabetes, CKD stage or symptomatic CVD. Subjects with a high normal office but a raised out-of-office BP (masked hypertension) have a CV risk in the hypertension range. Authors/Task Force Members et al.

15 efinitions of hypertension by office and out-of-office blood pressure levels

17 Electronic device Multiple recordings Quietened room

18 Out of Office Blood Pressure Assessment Ambulatory BP assessment Home BP assessment Correlation between these 2 modalities is fair to moderate!

19 Clinical indications for out-of-office blood pressure measurement for diagnostic purposes LVH, Echo aortic dilatation

23 Example of ABPs

24 Case 1 37 yr old male Well, semi-pro golfer. +ve family history of ischemic heart disease GP BP=150/90mmHg, P=70 Clinic BP 150/100mmHg, both arms. Repeated after 10 mins. ABPM applied

25

26 Case 2 56yr Chinese female. Borderline BP readings last 2 years Dyslipidemic GP 146/94, 136/96, 164/102 over last 6 months Clinic 156/98mmHg ABPM apllied

27

28 Strategy Start Cilazepril 2.5mg ½ nocte and review in 2 weeks

29 Case 3 83yr female Multiple admissions to XYH with postural symptoms and palps No pattern to BP but appears to be systolic (always D/C in < 18 hours) Seen in O/P with symptoms of fatigue and dizziness and headaches. Poor oral intake. Bloods normal. Holter normal. Echo normal. Meds: Bendrofluazide 25mg, Quinapril 10mg mane, Amlodipine 5mg, Aspirin 100mg ABP performed

30 Non-dipper

31 Strategy Improve 24 hour BP control while limiting variability of pressures Plan: Remove short acting anti-hypertensives DRINK, DRINK AND DRINK Stop diuretics Start 2.5 mg Cilazepril at night Review in 3 weeks

32 Advantages of ABPM Overcomes the variability seen in GP/clinic/hospital environments Many measurements in a home/work environment Allows greater buy-in / understanding from patients Closely correlated to end-organ CV events (ARTEMIS STUDY) Allows understanding of diurnal variation of blood pressure-dipper / non-dipper. Non-dippers strongly correlated with CVD events and end organ damage LVH, IMT and CVD death

33 Economics of ABPM Speeds up diagnosis and decreases misdiagnosis International use < 5% and in NZ<1% Eliminate from treatment up to 25% of newly presenting people with elevation of BP UK 2.5 million to implement, cost neutral at year 2 and $10 million saving at year 5 Highest savings were seen in older patients Lovibond K, Jowett S, Barton P, et al. Cost-effectiveness of options for the diagnosis of high blood pressure in primary care: a modelling study. Lancet 2011; DOI: /S (11)

34 Home BP recordings How Do You Do It? Morning and evening for 7 days Quiet room rested for 5 mins Arm and back supported with cuff at the level if the heart Logbook or preferrably electronic database (avoids editing by patient) Exclude first day of monitoring The Home BP is the average of all recordings of the 6/7 days BUT unlike ABPM does not give data : during routine activities during sleep To quantify short term BP variability

35 Home BP recordings Better than office BP at predicting CV events and more closely correlated to development LVH and CV morbidity and mortality As good as ABPM for end-organ risk and CV events

Beta blockers are not a preferred initial therapy for hypertension, but consider in women of child-bearing potential, or patients with evidence of increased sympathetic drive. With use of beta blocker consider co-administration with alpha blocker.

52 Gaps in evidence and need for future trials Should antihypertensive drug treatment be given to all patients with grade 1 hypertension when their CV risk is low-to-moderate? Should elderly patients with a SBP between 140 and 160 mmhg be given antihypertensive drug treatments? Should drug treatment be given to subjects with white-coat hypertension? Can this condition be differentiated into patients needing or not needing treatment? Should antihypertensive drug treatment be started in the high normal BP range and, if so, in which patients? What are the optimal office BP values (i.e. the most protective and safe) for patients to achieve by treatment in different demographic and clinical conditions? Do treatment strategies based on control of out-of-office BP provide an advantage (reduced clinical morbidity and mortality, fewer drugs, fewer side-effects) over strategies based on conventional (office) BP control? What are the optimal out-of-office (home and ambulatory) BP values to be reached with treatment and should targets be lower or higher in high risk hypertensives? Does central BP add to CV event prediction in untreated and treated hypertensive patients? Do invasive procedures for treatment of resistant hypertension compare favourably with the best drug treatment and provide long-term BP control and reduction of morbid and fatal events? Do treatment-induced changes in asymptomatic OD predict outcome? Which measures or combinations of measures are most valuable? Are lifestyle measures known to reduce BP capable of reducing morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients? Does a treatment-induced reduction of 24h BP variability add to CV protection by antihypertensive treatment? Does BP reduction substantially lower CV risk in resistant hypertension?

54 White Coat and Masked Hypertension Both seen in 13% hypertensive population White Coat associations: age, female, non-smoking Masked hypertension associations: younger age, male, exercise Obesity, diabetes, CKD, family history of hypertension. CV events equate to true sustained hypertension. In diabetic patients Sustained nocturnal hypertension may occur leading to nephropathy
