Treatment

The treatment of high blood pressure requires a multi­pronged approach, which includes lifestyle management, non-pharmacological, and pharmacological interventions.

Lifestyle Management

A healthy lifestyle is essential in the management of high blood pressure [8]. Healthy lifestyle choices can prevent or delay the onset of high BP and can reduce both cardiovascu­lar risk and hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD). Diet, nutrient intake, and physical activity can play an impor­tant role in the prevention and treatment of blood pressure and its associated complications. Dietary modifications include weight loss, reduced salt intake, increased potassium intake, moderation of alcohol consumption, and consumption of an overall healthy dietary pattern, similar to a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet.
Diet: Emphasis on intake of vegetables (8–10 servings/
day), fruits and whole grains, low-fat dairy products (2–3 serv­ings/day), poultry, fish, legumes, nontropical vegetables oils and nuts, limited intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meat is recommended. The following forms of diet to control hypertension are recommended:
• DASH (www.dashforhealth.com) [9] or its variant diet
• US Department of Agriculture (USDA) diet
• American Heart Association (AHA) diet
Diet counseling should take into account personal and
cultural food preferences, appropriate calorie intake, and other medical conditions.
Dietary supplements: Garlic has been shown to have blood
pressure-lowering property and therefore has been used as a dietary supplement to lower blood pressure.
Cocoa has a small blood pressure-lowering effect (average
of 2–3 mmHg) in adults with hypertension, but there is no evidence that it improves cardiovascular events.
Chapter 16. Hypertension
Although vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, omega-3 fatty acids,
and magnesium are used for lowering blood pressure, there is no clear evidence to support their use in the prevention or treatment of hypertension.
Sodium can be reduced to 2400 mg/day or less if the
desired BP goal is not achieved.
Potassium intake can be increased potassium intake to
4.7gm/day. Physical activity: Engaging in aerobic physical activity for
3–4 sessions a week lasting on average of 40min per session (moderate to vigorous intensity) or at least 150min per week of moderate intensity is shown to be beneficial in reducing blood pressure.
Weight loss: The target body mass index is ≤25. Alternatively,
a waist-to-height ratio<0.5 is recommended.
Smoking cessation: Smoking cessation lowers blood pres-
sure and heart rate, reducing overall cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Alcohol use: Limit to ≤2 alcoholic drinks per day for men
and ≤1 alcoholic drink per day for women. One alcoholic drink is defined as 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (10 g alcohol).
Other healthy drinks: Moderate consumption of coffee
and green and black tea. Others include hibiscus tea, pome­granate juice, beetroot juice, and cocoa.
Relaxation techniques: There is sporadic evidence for yoga,
transcendental meditation, acupuncture, and biofeedback techniques in lowering blood pressure.

Pharmacological Interventions

Pharmacological agents, in addition to lifestyle management, provide the primary basis for treatment of high blood pres­sure (Fig.16.1). Based on the recent guidelines [7], pharmaco­therapy should be initiated for persons with stage 1

Current evidence demonstrates that antihypertensive pharmacotherapy not only lowers blood pressure but reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular events, and death [4]. Various classes of antihypertensive agents are avail­able to treat high blood pressure. The primary agents used in the treatment of hypertension include thiazide diuretics, ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, and CCBs (Table16.4).

tension with dosage titration and sequential addition of other agents to achieve the BP target. Initiation of antihypertensive drug therapy with two first-line agents of different classes, either as separate agents or in a fixed-dose combination, is recommended with stage 2 hypertension and an average BP more than 20/10mmHg above their BP target.
Various substances, including prescriptions medications, over-the-counter medications, illicit drugs, herbals, and food substances, may affect BP [4]. In the clinical assessment of hypertension, a careful history should be taken with regard to medications and substances (Table16.6) that impair BP con­trol. When feasible, any medications or substances associated with increased BP should be reduced or discontinued, and an alternative agent(s) should be used [4].

Office, Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM), andAmbulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
Outpatient office measurements continue to be the most common means of diagnosing hypertension. The home and ambulatory readings are more consistent and better reflect hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) risk and bet­ter differentiate white coat hypertension with elevated office measurements and masked hypertension, where measure­ments are lower in the office.
The office blood pressure measurement can vary by 20–25mmHg between visits due to various factors and limita­tions such as poor technique, masked effect, white coat effect, and a small number of readings. Moreover, the traditional office blood pressure (BP) may not provide accurate esti­mates of blood pressure status. There are currently two meth­ods of out of office blood pressure monitoring modalities that

have been recommended such as self or home monitoring (HBPM) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (Table16.7). The blood pressure measured over 24h by an ambulatory recording (ABPM) is the best method for esti­mating an individual’s cardiovascular risk related to hyper­tension and response to antihypertension therapies [11]. The ABPM is also the most effective means to determine white coat or masked hypertension, and the BP values during sleep when nocturnal hypertension or non-dipping profiles are suspected (Fig.16.2). For both self- and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, the use of the upper arm is better than the wrist monitors, except in very obese individuals. Finger devices are not reliable. An up-to-date list of monitors can be retrieved from www.validatebp.org [12]. Currently, ABPM is being widely used in clinical practice, and the expenses are often reimbursed by most of the payors.
