Introduction Established Need There are several practice guidelines and published primary literature sources that give guidance on the management of hypertension Many of these sources recommend different blood pressure goals based on various patient factors Result: ambiguity amongst providers Introduction Domestic Sources: *Eighth Joint National Committee Report (JNC 8) American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) American College of Cardiology (ACC) American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) American Heart Association (AHA) American Society of Hypertension (ASH) Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) National Hearth Blood and Lung Institute (NHLBI) Veteran s Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) International Sources Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP) European Society of Cardiologists (ESC) European Society of Hypertension (ESH) International Society of Hypertension (ISH) Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) National Heart Foundation of Australia (NHFA) National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 3

Literature Review Literature Review Global Burden of Hypertension and Systolic Blood Pressure of at Least 110 115 mmhg, 1990 2015 17 A comparative risk assessment of health loss related to SBP of 140 mmhg and the burden of different causes of death and disability by age and sex for 195 counties and territories between 1990 2015. 844 studies from 154 countries of 8.69 million participants Results SBP 110-115 increased from 73,119 to 81,373 per 100,000 persons SBP 140 increased from 17,307 to 20,526 per 100,000 persons Estimated rate of annual deaths with SBP 110-115 increased from 135.6 to 145.2 per 100,000 persons Estimated rate of annual deaths with SBP 140 increased from 97.9 to 106.3 per 100,000 persons Conclusion Over the past 25 years, the number of persons worldwide with SBP 110 to 115 and 140 and associated deaths have increased substantially Literature Review A Randomized Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood Pressure Control (SPRINT) 18 Randomized, controlled, open-label study designed to evaluate intensive SBP lowering to either <140 (standard of care) or <120 (intensive care) Enrolled patients age 50+ with history of or high risk for CVD Excluded patients with diabetes, stroke history, and non-ambulatory patients Results Intensive care group experienced: 25% lower relative incidence of CVD (absolute rates 5.2% vs 6.8%) 43% lower relative CVD-related mortality rate (absolute rates 0.8% vs 1.4%) 27% lower relative all-cause mortality rate (absolute rates 3.3 vs 4.5%) Patients aged 75 years old benefited similarly to younger patients Terminated early due to ethical concerns 5
Literature Review The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes Study Group (ACCORD) 19 Randomized, controlled, open-label trial designed to compare the effects of lowering SBP to either <140 (standard of care) or <120 (intensive care) Enrolled patients ages 40-79 with type 2 diabetes (A1c > 7.5%) and CVD or patients ages 55-79 with high risk of CVD Results No significant difference in primary outcome (A1c reduction) between intensive and standard care groups (patients with diabetes) Intensive treatment group - Stroke incidence was significantly decreased; A nonsignificant reduction in CVD was observed At the same time, 257 patients in the intensive-therapy group died, as compared with 203 patients in the standard-therapy group (hazard ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.46; P=0.04). Terminated early due to ethical reasons The Pharmacists Role Patient Education Project ImPACT: Hypertension Outcomes of a Pharmacist-Provided Hypertension Service 20 Pharmacists met with patients for BP monitoring, lifestyle goal setting, and education about medications and disease state on 4 occasions over 6 months Patients not at BP goal at baseline had a significant decrease in BP and a significant increase in achievement of BP goals (change +21.0%, P<0.001) Patient knowledge increased from baseline and satisfaction with pharmacists service was high 6
Patient Education Patient Knowledge of Blood Pressure Target is Associated with Improved Blood Pressure Control in Chronic Kidney Disease 21 Study conducted by the University of Michigan Health System in collaboration with Vanderbilt University Medical Center to describe patient hypertension knowledge and associations with blood pressure measurements 338 adults with HTN and pre-dialysis CKD patients were asked about the impact of high blood pressure on kidneys and their target blood pressure goal; SBP was measured using automated sphygmomanometers Results: Lower SBP associated with Female gender, less advanced CKD, and patient ability to correctly identify SBP goal Knowledge of BP goal remained independently associated with lower SBP (-9.96 mmhg [-19.97, -1.95] in correct respondents vs incorrect; p<0.001 Collaborative Delivery of Care Randomized Trial of the Effect of Pharmacist Prescribing on Improving Blood Pressure in the Community: The Alberta Clinical Trial in Optimizing Hypertension (RxACTION) 22 Patient-level, randomized, controlled trial that enrolled 248 adults with above-above target BP through community pharmacies, hospitals, or primary care teams Intervention group received a pharmacist-led assessment of BP and CV risk, education on hypertension, prescribed antihypertensive medications, lab monitoring, and monthly follow-up visits for 6 months versus control group of usual physician/pharmacist care Results: intervention group had a mean ±SE reduction in SBP at 6 months of 18.3 ±1.2 compared with 11.8 ±1.9 mmhg (P=0.0006) Pharmacists prescribing for patient with hypertension resulted in clinically and statistically significant reduction in blood pressure Conclusion Pharmacists should Remain abreast of current guidelines, trends in practice, and goals of treating hypertension Provide patient counseling on antihypertensive medications (OBRA 90) and motivational interviewing for increased medication adherence Provide comprehensive blood pressure goal education to patients with hypertension to improve patient outcomes 7
Application Case 1 AS is a 58 year old African-American woman with diabetes and dyslipidemia has a BP of 158/94 confirmed on several office visits. Other than obesity, the exam is normal. Labs show normal renal function, well-controlled lipids on atorvastatin and well-controlled diabetes on metformin. Urine microalbumin is mildly elevated. What is AS blood pressure goal? Case 2 NC is a 35 y/o white female with DM and HTN. She is trying to control BP with diet/exercise, but has not been successful. Her BP in clinic today is 150/70, HR 75 bpm What is NC s blood pressure goal? What is our role in NC s care? 8
Case 3 FR is a 71 y/o male with a strong FH of CAD was admitted with an STEMI 4 days ago. After management of his acute symptoms, he was found to have diagnoses of HTN, hyperlipidemia, and mild LV systolic dysfunction with an EF of 45%. You look back and a BP in the office 9 months ago was 165/98. What is FR s blood pressure goal? What is our role in FR s care? Questions References 1. Benjamin EJ, Blaha MJ, Chiuve SE, et al.
