The patient with chronic renal insufficiency has hypertension that is usually partially volume dependent.Retentionofsodiumandwaterexacerbatestheexistinghypertensivestate,anddiureticsare importantinthemanagement ofthisproblem. WhenestimatedGFRis<30–35mL/min/1.73m2,loop diureticsarethemosteffectiveclass. Inthepresenceofproteinuria,ACEinhibitors/ARBsshouldbe consideredbecausehigherurinaryexcretionofproteinisassociatedwithamorerapiddeclineinGFR, regardless of the cause ofrenal insufficiency. More recently, anupdated Kidney Disease Improving GlobalOutcomesBPguidelinerecommendedmoreintensiveBPcontrolwithasystolictargetof<120 mmHgfor all patients with CKDnotondialysis.45 Data from the SPRINT trial seemed to indicate higher rates of acute kidney injury with intensive treatment for patients with stage 3 or 4 CKD.
46
However,subsequentanalysesofSPRINTandfindingsfromasubstudyhaveshownthatthesechanges were likelybenign andhemodynamic rather than causing permanentinjury.
47-49
 Longer-term data are neededforclarificationandconfirmationofthesefindings. ThehypertensivepatientwithLVHisatincreasedriskforsuddendeath,MI,andall-causemortality. Although there is no direct evidence, regression of LVH could be expected to reduce the risk for subsequent complications. Aggressive BP control and renin–angiotensin system blockade with ACE inhibitors/ARBsappeartohavethegreatesteffectontheregression.
50-52
The hypertensive patient with CAD is at increased risk for unstable angina (UA) and MI. β­Adrenergic antagonists can be used as first-line agents in these patients because they can decrease cardiacmortalityandsubsequentreinfarctioninthesettingofacuteMIandcandecreaseprogressionto MIinthosewhopresentwithUA.β-Adrenergicantagonistsalsohavearoleinsecondarypreventionof cardiaceventsandincreasinglong-termsurvivalafteranMI. Careshouldbe exercisedinthosewith cardiacconductionsystemdisease.ACEinhibitorsare beneficialinpatientswithCADanddecrease mortalityinindividualswhopresentwithacuteMI,especiallythosewithleftventriculardysfunction.

56
Thehypertensivepatientwithheartfailurewithreducedejectionfraction(HFrEF)isatriskfor progressive left ventricular dilatation and sudden death. Patients should be prescribed guideline­directed medical therapy to attain a BP <130/80 mm Hg (see Chapter 5, Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy). In this population,ACEinhibitors decrease mortality,54 andinthe settingof acute MI,theydecreasetheriskofrecurrentMI,hospitalizationforHF,andmortality.57ARBshavesimilar beneficialeffects,andtheyappeartobeaneffectivealternativeinpatientswhodonottolerateanACE inhibitor.33 Several recent studieshavesupported the useofARNI over ACEinhibitors or ARBs in HFrEF patients as sacubitril–valsartan (ARNI) was shown to reduce all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalization rate when compared head-to-head to enalapril (ACE inhibitor).
36
ARNItherapyalsolikelyhasbeneficialeffectsonrenalfunctionandglucosecontrol,basedonrecent emerging data.
37-39
 β-Adrenergic antagonist therapy has also been shown to decrease morbidity and mortality. Agents shown to have proven benefit include metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, and bisoprolol.
29,58,59
Nitrates andhydralazinealsodecreasemortalityinspecificsubsetsofpatientswith HFirrespectiveofhypertension,buthydralazinecancausereflextachycardiaandworseningischemia in patients with unstable coronary syndromes and should be used with caution. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have been shown to decrease mortality in patients with HFrEF. Nondihydropyridinecalciumchannelantagonistsshouldgenerallybeavoided. Thehypertensivepatientwithheartfailurewithpreservedejectionfraction(HFpEF)maypresent withsignsofvolumeoverloadandthusdiureticsmaybeusedasinitialtherapy.Theoptimaltreatment regimenforhypertension inpatients with HFpEFis unclear. ACEinhibitors/ARBshavethe greatest effectonregressionofLVHandthusmayimprovediastolicfunction.
60
Inthepregnantpatientwithhypertension,thereisconcernforpotentialmaternalandfetalmorbidity andmortalityassociatedwithelevatedBPandtheclinicalsyndromesofpreeclampsiaandeclampsia.
https://t.me/med1917
The possibility of teratogenic or other adverse effects of antihypertensive medications on fetal developmentshouldalsobeconsidered.
Classification of hypertension during pregnancy has been proposed by the American College of ObstetricsandGynecology.
61
Preeclampsia–eclampsia: Diagnosis is established ifthere is new-onset hypertensionafter 20 weeksofgestationandthepresenceofproteinuria.ElevatedSBP≥140mmHgorDBP≥90mm Hg ontwo occasionsatleast4hoursapartoraone-time measurementofSBP≥160mmHgor DBP≥110mmHgqualifiesashypertension.Ifnoproteinuriaispresent,thenhypertensionalong with oneof the followingqualifies: platelets <100,000/μL, creatinine>1.1 mg/dL (or doubling from baseline), liver transaminases greater than twice the normal, pulmonary edema, or cerebral/visual symptoms. Eclampsia encompasses these parameters in addition to generalized seizures. Chronic (preexisting) hypertension: This disorder is defined as hypertension diagnosed or presentbefore pregnancyor 20 weeksof gestation(traditionally, a BP≥140/90mm Hgwithat leasttwodeterminationsatleast4hoursapartisused). Chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia: This classification is used when a womanwithchronic hypertensiondevelops worseninghypertension andnew proteinuriaand/or otherfeaturesofpreeclampsiaasoutlinedpreviously. Gestationalhypertension:ThisdisorderisdefinedbyaBP≥140/90mmHgafterthe20thweek
ofpregnancywithoutproteinuriaorotherfeaturesofpreeclampsia. Therapy: Treatment of hypertensioninpregnancyis recommended when SBP is ≥160 mmHgor DBPis≥100mmHg;however,clinicaljudgmentshouldbeusedindeterminingtreatmentinpregnant womenwithcomorbidconditionssuchasCVDorCKD.
Nonpharmacologictherapy,suchasweightreductionandvigorousexercise,isnotrecommended
duringpregnancy.
Alcoholandtobaccouseshouldbestronglydiscouraged.
Pharmacologicinterventionwithlabetalol,nifedipine,ormethyldopaisrecommendedasfirst-line
therapybecauseoftheirprovensafety.
ACE inhibitors and ARB have been proven to be teratogenic and increase fetal morbidity or
mortality.
β-Blockersmaybeusedinpregnancy;however,atenololshouldnotbeusedduetoincreasedrisk
offetalgrowthrestriction.
Ifapatientissuspectedofhavingpreeclampsiaoreclampsia,urgentevaluationisrecommended.
MAOIs:MAOIsusedinassociationwithcertaindrugsorfoodscanproduceacatecholamineexcess stateandacceleratedhypertension.Interactionsarecommonwithtricyclicantidepressants,meperidine, methyldopa, levodopa, sympathomimetic agents, and antihistamines. Tyramine-containing foods that canleadtothissyndromeincludecertaincheeses,redwine,beer,chocolate,chickenliver,processed meat, herring, broad beans, canned figs, andyeast. Nitroprusside, labetalol, and phentolamine have been used effectively in the treatment of accelerated hypertension associated with MAOI use (see
Table3-5).
Complications
Withdrawalsyndromeassociatedwithdiscontinuationofantihypertensivetherapy:Whensubstituting therapyinpatientswithmoderatetoseverehypertension,itisreasonabletoincreasedosesofthenew medicationinsmallincrementswhiletaperingthepreviousmedicationtoavoidexcessiveBP fluctuations.Onoccasion,anantihypertensivewithdrawalsyndrome(AWS)develops,usuallywithinthe
https://t.me/med1917
first24–72hours,whenBPrisestolevelsthataremuchhigherthanthoseofbaselinevalues.Themost severecomplicationsofAWSincludeencephalopathy,stroke,MI,andsuddendeath.AWSismost commonlyassociatedwithcentrallyactingadrenergicagents(particularlyclonidine)andβ-adrenergic antagonistsbuthasbeenreportedwithotheragentsaswell,includingdiuretics.Discontinuationof antihypertensivemedicationsshouldbedonewithcautioninpatientswithpreexistingcerebrovascularor cardiacdisease.ManagementofAWSbyreinstitutionofthepreviouslyadministereddrugisgenerally effective.
Dyslipidemia
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Lipidsaresparinglysolublemacromoleculesthatincludecholesterol,fattyacids,andtheirderivatives. Plasmalipids are transported bylipoproteinparticles composed ofapolipoproteins, phospholipids, freecholesterol,cholesterolesters,andtriglycerides. Humanplasmalipoproteinsareseparatedintofivemajorclassesbasedondensity:
Chylomicrons(leastdense) Very-low-densitylipoproteins(VLDLs) Intermediate-densitylipoproteins(IDLs) Low-densitylipoproteins(LDLs) High-densitylipoproteins(HDLs)
A sixth class, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], resembles LDL in lipid composition and has a density that overlapsLDLandHDL. PhysicalpropertiesofplasmalipoproteinsaresummarizedinTable3-6.

Nearly 90% of patients with congestive heart disease (CHD) have some form of dyslipidemia. Increased levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), remnant lipoproteins, Lp(a), anddecreased levels of HDLcholesterolhaveallbeenassociatedwithanincreasedriskofprematurevasculardisease.

69
Standardsofcareforhyperlipidemia
LDL-C–lowering therapy, particularly with hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (commonly referred to as statins), lowers the risk of CHD-related death, morbidity, and revascularization procedures in patients with(secondary prevention) or without (primaryprevention)knownCHD.
70-77
LDL-loweringtherapyhasprovenbeneficialeveninpatients
atlowriskforvasculardisease.
78
Prevention of ASCVD is the primary goal of the 2018 ACC/AHA guidelines. These guidelines addressriskassessment,lifestylemodifications,evaluationandtreatmentofobesity,andevaluation andmanagementofbloodcholesterolandaimforamorepersonalizedandshareddecision-making approachtoriskmanagement.
79
Screening
Screeningforhypercholesterolemiashouldbedoneinalladultsage20yearsorolder.
79
Screening is best performed with a lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides)obtainedaftera12-hourfast. If a fastinglipidpanelcannotbe obtained,totalandHDLcholesterolshouldbe measured.Non-HDL cholesterol≥220mg/dLmayindicateageneticorsecondarycause.Afastinglipidpanelisrequiredif non-HDLcholesterolis≥220mg/dLortriglyceridesare≥500mg/dL. IfthepatientdoesnothaveanindicationforLDL-loweringtherapy,screeningcanbeperformedevery 4–6yearsbetweenages40and75.
79
Patientshospitalizedforanacutecoronarysyndromeorcoronaryrevascularizationshouldhavealipid panelobtainedwithin24hoursofadmissioniflipidlevelsareunknown. Individuals with hyperlipidemia should be evaluated for potential secondary causes, including hypothyroidism,DM,obstructiveliverdisease,chronicrenaldiseasesuchasnephroticsyndrome,and medicationssuchasestrogens,progestins,anabolicsteroids/androgens,corticosteroids,cyclosporine, retinoids,atypicalantipsychotics,andantiretrovirals(particularlyproteaseinhibitors).
RiskAssessment
https://t.me/med1917
The 2018 guidelines emphasize risk stratification based on predicted future risk, with further stratificationusingrisk-enhancingfactorstoidentifygroupsinwhomthebenefitsofLDL-C–lowering therapywithHMG-CoAreductaseinhibitors(statins)clearlyoutweightherisksandtoaimforcertain goals in the reduction of LDL-C. The more LDL-C is reduced, the greater the subsequent risk reduction.79Inallindividuals,ahearthealthylifestyleshouldbeencouragedasitreducesASCVDrisk atallages. Areasinwhichtreatmentwithstatintherapyisrecommendedincludethefollowing:
PatientswithclinicalASCVD PatientswithLDL-C≥190mg/dL PatientswithDMage40–75 Patientsage40–75withacalculatedASCVDrisk≥7.5%ifadiscussionoftreatmentoptionsfavors
statintherapy For patients without clinical ASCVD or an LDL-C ≥190 mg/dL, the guidelines advise having a clinician–patientriskdiscussionbeforestartingstatintherapy.Thisincludescalculatingapatient’srisk for ASCVD based on age, sex, ethnicity, total and HDL cholesterol, SBP (treated or untreated), presenceofDM,andcurrentsmokingstatusinadditiontothepresenceofrisk-enhancingfactors.
79
TheACC/AHAriskcalculatorisavailableattools.acc.org/ASCVD-Risk-Estimator-Plus/.
ForpatientsofethnicitiesotherthanAfricanAmericanornon-Hispanicwhite,riskcannot bewell

the understanding that risk may be lower than calculated in East Asian Americans and Hispanic
AmericansandhigherinAmericanIndiansandSouthAsians.
Ten-yearriskshouldbecalculatedbeginningatage40inpatientswithoutASCVDorLDL-C≥190
mg/dL.
Lifetime riskmay be calculatedinpatients age20–39 and patients age40–59 witha 10-yearrisk
<7.5%toinformdecisionsregardinglifestylemodification.
TREATMENT
The2018guidelinesrecognizelifestylefactors,includingdietandweightmanagementasanimportant componentofriskreductionforallpatients.
79
Patientsshouldbeadvisedtoadoptadietthatishighinfruitsandvegetables,wholegrains,fish,lean meat,low-fatdairy,legumes,andnuts,withlowerintakeofredmeat,saturatedandtransfats,sweets, and sugary beverages (Table 3-9). Saturated fat should comprise no more than 5%–6% of total calories.

81
Physicalactivity,includingaerobicandresistanceexercise,isrecommendedinallpatients.
70
The 2019 ACC/AHA guidelines recommend that adults engage in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensityor75minutesperweekofvigorous-intensityphysicalexercise.

Consultation with a registered dietitian nutritionist may be helpful to plan, start, and maintain a saturatedfat–restrictedandweightloss–promotingdiet. Priortothestartoftreatment,thereshouldbeariskdiscussionbetweenthepatientandtheclinician. Topicsfordiscussionincludethefollowing:
PotentialforASCVDriskreductionbenefits
Potentialforadverseeffectsanddrug–druginteractions
Hearthealthylifestyleandmanagementofotherriskfactors
Patientpreferences Aspirin should be used infrequently in the primary prevention of ASCVD because of lack of net benefit.
82
Alladultsshouldbeassessedfortobaccouse.Thosewhosmokeshouldbestronglyadvisedtoquitand providedassistanceinthispursuit.

LDL,low-densitylipoprotein;↓,decreased.
Ifhigh-dosestatintherapyiscontraindicated,poorlytolerated,ortherearesignificantriskstohigh-
intensitytherapy(includingage>75years),themaximallytoleratedstatintherapyisanoption.
In patients with very-high-risk ASCVD, use an LDL-C threshold of 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) to
consider addition of nonstatins to statin therapy. If proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
(PCSK9)inhibitoris considered, add ezetimibetomaximalstatinbeforeaddingPCSK9inhibitor.
Very-high-riskASCVD includesa historyofmultiplemajor ASCVDeventsor onemajorASCVD
event andmultiplehigh-riskconditions(majorASCVDeventsarerecentacutecoronary syndrome
[past12months],historyofMI,historyofischemicstroke,symptomaticperipheralarterialdisease).
High-risk conditions include age >65 years, heterozygous FH, history of prior coronary bypass

LDL-C≥190mg/dL
These individuals have elevated lifetime riskbecause of long-term exposure to veryhigh LDL-C
levels,andtheriskcalculatordoesnotaccountforthis.
LDL-Cshouldbereducedwithhigh-intensitystatintherapy.Ifhigh-intensitytherapyisnottolerated,
maximumtoleratedintensityshouldbeused.
IfLDL-Constatintherapyremains>100mg/dL(>2.6mmol/L),addingezetimibeisreasonable.
IftheLDL-Clevelonstatinplusezetimiberemains>100mg/dL(>2.6mmol/L)andthepatienthas
multiple factors that increase subsequent risk of ASCVD event, a PCSK9 inhibitor may be
considered,althoughthelong-termsafety(>3years)isuncertain.
LDL apheresis is an optional therapy in patients with homozygous FH and those with severe
heterozygous FH with insufficient response to medication. Lomitapide, a microsomal triglyceride

Because hyperlipidemia ofthis degree is oftengeneticallydetermined,discuss screening ofother

Patientswithdiabetes,aged40–75,LDL-C>70mg/dL
Moderate-intensitystatintherapyisindicatedregardlessofestimated10-yearASCVDrisk.

InpatientswithDMathigherrisk,especiallythosewithmultipleriskfactorsorthoseaged50–75,it
isreasonabletouseahigh-intensitystatintoreducetheLDL-Cby>50%.
Diabetes-specific risk enhancers: long duration (>10 years for T2DM or >20 years for T1DM),
albuminuria(>30µgofalbumin/mgcreatinine),eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2,retinopathy,neuropathy,
ankle-brachialindex(ABI)<0.9.
InadultswithDMand10-yearASCVDriskof20%orhigher,itmaybereasonabletoaddezetimibe

TheJACC2020ExpertConsensusDecisionPathwayonNovelTherapiesforCardiovascularRisk
ReductioninpatientswithT2DMrecommendsconsideringtheuseofansodium–glucose transport
protein2 (SGLT2) inhibitororglucagon-likepeptide-1receptor agonists(GLP-1 RA)for patients
with T2DM who are athigh risk for clinical ASCVD for cardiovascular andrenal benefits. The
2019 AHA/ACC preventative cardiology guidelines recommend metformin first-line and then
considerationofanSGLT2inhibitororGLP-1RAaswell.
82-84
Patientswithoutdiabetes,aged40–75,LDL-Cbetween70and189mg/dL
Using the AHA/ACC riskcalculator, calculate10-year risk of an ASCVD eventinthese patients
(categories:>20%,≥7.5%to<20%,5.0%–7.5%,and<5.0%).
“Borderlinerisk”:A10-yearriskbetween5.0%and7.5%andrisk-enhancingfactorsareindications
formoderate-intensitystatintherapyifadiscussionofoptionsfavorsstatintherapy.
“Intermediaterisk”:A10-yearrisk≥7.5%to<20%isanindicationformoderate-intensitystatinto
reduceLDL-Cby30%–49%.
“High risk”: A 10-year risk of >20% favors initiating statintherapy to reduceLDL-C by at least
50%.
82
Risk-enhancing factors include family historyof premature ASCVD, persistently elevated LDL-C
levels(>160mg/dL),metabolicsyndrome,CKD,historyofpreeclampsia or prematuremenopause
(<40years), chronicinflammatorydisorders(e.g.,rheumatoidarthritis, psoriasis,orchronicHIV),
high-riskethnicgroups(e.g.,SouthAsian),persistentelevationsoftriglycerides>175mg/dL,and,if
measuredinselectedindividuals,apolipoproteinB>130mg/dL,high-sensitivityC-reactiveprotein
>2.0mg/L,ABI<0.9,andLp(a)>50mg/dLor125nmol/L.
Inintermediate-riskadultsinwhomhigh-intensitystatinsareadvisabletoreachgoalreduction,but
not acceptable or tolerated, it is reasonable to add a nonstatin drug (ezetimibe or bile acid
sequestrant)tomoderate-intensitystatin.
Otherpatientpopulations
If a 10-yearASCVDriskis>7.5%–19.9%anddecisionaboutstatintherapyisuncertain,consider
measuringcoronaryarterycalcium(CAC)tohelpidentifyrisk.IftheCACiszero,itisreasonableto
withholdstatin therapyandreassessin5–10years,aslong as higherriskconditionsare absent.If
CACscoreis1–99,itisreasonabletoinitiatestatintherapyforpatients>55years.IfCACscoreis
>100and/orgreaterthan75thpercentile,itisreasonabletoinitiatestatintherapy.
Patients with stage3–5 CKDare high riskfor ASCVD85 andthe use of LDL-lowering therapy is
indicatedinpatientswithnondialysis-dependentCKD.
86
Useofstatin therapyshouldbeindividualizedforpatientsolderthan75.Inrandomizedcontrolled
trials,patientsolderthan75continuedtohavebenefitfromstatintherapy,particularlyforsecondary
prevention.

Inaddition,manyASCVDeventsoccurinthisagegroup,andpatientswithoutother comorbiditiesmaybenefitsubstantiallyfromcardiovascularriskreduction. Inadults>75yearsitmaybereasonabletostopstatintherapywhenfunctionaldecline(physicalor cognitive), multimorbidity,frailty, or reduced lifeexpectancylimits thepotential benefitsofstatin therapy.
