Brief Introduction

Hypertension is the most common condition seen in primary care practice. Not only is hypertension a major preventable cause of cardio-cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality, but it is also an independent risk factor for resulting end organ damage including myocardial infraction, stroke, heart failure, retinopathy, peripheral vascular disease, and end-stage renal disease aka hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD). Social determinants coupled with behavioral and genetic fac­tors play an important role in the development of hyperten­sion and its related complications.
Scope oftheProblem
Annually, over 10 million deaths worldwide can be attributed to hypertension [1]. Approximately 80 million, or one in three American adults, have high blood pressure. About one in

three American adults also have prehypertension, blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal but not yet in the high blood pressure range. Seventy-seven percent of indi­viduals diagnosed with hypertension are using antihyperten­sive medications, but only 54% have their condition controlled. The prevalence of hypertension is projected to increase about 8% between 2013 and 2030. High blood pressure costs the nation over $50 billion each year. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications to treat high blood pres­sure, and missed days of work [2].
Based on the data provided by the American Heart Association [2], there is widespread racial and gender dispar­ity in the prevalence of high blood pressure in the US popula­tion. In recent years, the incidence and prevalence of hypertension have increased, while rates of BP control have decreased. Rates in African-Americans are among the high­est of any population in the world.
• 46% of African-American women have high blood
pressure.
• 45% of African-American men have high blood pressure.
• 33% of white men have high blood pressure.
• 30% of white women have high blood pressure.
• 30% of Hispanic men have high blood pressure.
• 30% of Hispanic women have high blood pressure.
A recent analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 found large increases in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control (≈10%) within each race/ethnicity and sex subgroup except for Black females. Among Black females, levels of hypertension awareness, treatment, and control increased between 1999–2002 and 2007–2010 but decreased between 2007–2010 and 2015–2018 [1].
History andReview ofSystems
Contributing factors to elevated blood pressure need to be assessed during an initial visit and for all ongoing encounters. Every clinical encounter requires a review of system and fam-
Chapter 16. Hypertension
ily history of symptoms of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, renal disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and gout. History of symptoms suggestive of secondary hypertension should be explored, e.g., weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, physical activ­ity, and tobacco use [3]. Psychosocial and environmental fac­tors that may elevate blood pressure like social determinants, family situation, employment status, working conditions, and education level need to be addressed. Sodium intake, alcohol use, intake of saturated fat, and cholesterol should be assessed. Medication history should include results and side effects of previous antihypertensive therapy, use of com­monly prescribed over-the-counter medications, herbals, and illicit medications or recreational drugs that may raise blood pressure or interfere with the effectiveness of antihyperten­sive medications.

Decision-Making/Differential Diagnoses

The early stages of hypertension may have no clinical mani­festations except elevated blood pressures. Primary or essen­tial hypertension should be considered when there are consecutive elevated blood pressures, bilateral temporal throbbing headaches, and unexplained lower extremity edema.
Similar to primary hypertension, secondary hypertension usually does not have specific signs and symptoms even with elevated pressures. However, blood pressures not responding to usual medications, early onset (before age 30) or late onset (after age 55), normal BMI, no family history, and with end organ damage and/or dysfunction should be evaluated for refractory and or secondary hypertension.

Physical Examination

Physical examination either establishes the diagnosis or depicts the severity of disease. The following examination can be undertaken:
312
J. Barmecha
• Blood pressure measurements to detect and confirm the
presence of high blood pressure
• Examination of the eyes including the fundus
– Arteriolar narrowing – Arteriovenous nicking – Exudates, hemorrhages, and papilledema
• Examination of the neck
– Carotid bruits – Distended veins – Enlarged thyroid gland
• Examination of the heart
– Increased rate and size – Precordial heave – Clicks and murmurs – Arrhythmias – Third (S3) and fourth (S4) heart sounds
• Examination of the abdomen
– Bruits and abnormal aortic pulsation – Enlarged kidneys – Masses
• Examination of the extremities
– Diminished, delayed, or absent peripheral arterial
pulsations – Bruits – Edema
• Body habitus, looking for changes associated with second­ary hypertension
• Peripheral and central nervous system for ischemic changes

Measuring Blood Pressure

The accurate measurement of blood pressure remains the most important technique for evaluating hypertension [3]. The following steps are recommended when measuring blood pressure to avoid inaccuracies.
Chapter 16. Hypertension
• No caffeine, exercise, or smoking for 30min prior.
• Seated quietly for 5min in a high back chair.
• Upper arms free of constrictive clothing.
• Both feet on floor, legs should not be crossed, and arm supported at the level of the heart.
• Cuff bladder should encircle at least 80% of the arm circumference.
• At least two blood pressure measurements per arm to obtain an average reading.
• Inflate the cuff to 20–30mmHg above pulse extinction.
• Deflate at a rate of 2–3mmHg/s.
• Systolic BP=onset of first Korotkoff sound.
• Diastolic BP=disappearance of Korotkoff sounds.
• Neither the patient nor the observer should talk during the measurement.

Diagnostic Studies

Baseline blood tests are recommended to identify those indi­viduals at risk for hypertension or to obtain clues to diagnose secondary hypertension
• Electrocardiogram
• Urinalysis
• Urine for drug screen (based on the history)
• Fasting blood glucose
• Complete blood count
• Serum sodium, potassium, calcium, creatinine or eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate)
• Fasting lipid profile
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• Optional tests: uric acid, measurement of urinary albumin excretion or albumin/creatinine ratio
Echocardiography, renal artery evaluation, or brain imag-
ing are not routinely recommended.
As per recent guidelines from the American College of
Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA),

2020 [4], the blood pressure is categorized as normal, ele­vated, or stage 1 or 2 hypertension to prevent and treat high BP (Table16.1).
The International Society of Hypertension (ISH) [5] pro-
vides the criteria for hypertension based on ambulatory and home BP values to define hypertension; these definitions apply to all adults above 18years old. These BP categories are designed to align therapeutic approaches with BP levels (Table16.2).

Clinical Quality Measure

Controlling blood pressure is part of a condition specific clinical quality measure. The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures the percentage of adults aged 18–85 with a diagnosis of hypertension, whose most recent blood pressure reading was controlled based on the following criteria:
Age 18–59 whose BP was <140/90 Age 60–85 with a diagnosis of diabetes whose BP was <140/90 Age 60–85 without a diagnosis of diabetes whose BP was
<150/90
Exclusions: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
or kidney transplant and pregnant status during the measure­ment year and admission to a non-acute inpatient setting during the measurement year.

Assessment

Once hypertension is diagnosed, further assessment is recom­mended to identify cardiovascular risk factors, and signs of hypertension-mediated organ damage.
Cardiovascular risk can be estimated using a calculator
such as Framingham risk score (https://www.mdcalc.com/
framingham- risk- score- hard- coronary- heart- disease) [6].
Based on new guidance on low ASCVD risk (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk or 10-year CVD risk <10%) adults with stage 1 hypertension (BP 130–139/80–89), man­agement can start with non-pharmacologic therapy. If BP remains uncontrolled at 3–6months, pharmacologic therapy should be considered [7].
