Blood Pressure ControlWilliam Abide, M.D.
Normal: < 120/<80 Pre-Hypertension: 120-139/80-89 Stage I Hypertension: 140-159/90-99 Stage II Hypertension: >160/>100
Genetics If parents have it, 2x more likely
Increase sodium intake Obesity Physical inactivity Race High cholesterol
Secondary Causes: Kidney disease Drug induced (NSAIDS) Renovascular Disease Endocrine disorders (hypo/hyperthyroidism) Sleep Apnea
High Blood Pressure increases risk of: Kidney disease Stroke Heart failure
Mortality benefit with decreased BP starting at 115 mm Hg
< 140/<90 ? With diabetes ? With CAD ? With CKD ACCORD Trial-5 years of follow up
BP in treatment group 119 mmHg vs 134 mm Hg
No difference in outcomes (MI, non-fatal stroke, death)
More adverse events (3.3% vs 1.3%) Hypotension, syncope, bradycardia, angioedema,
renal failure
Persistently above 140/90 medications
> 160/100 medications
Weight Loss 0.5-2 mmHg for every 1 Kg weight loss Very effective with low sodium diet
Aerobic Exercise Can lower BP as much as 5-15 mmHg Usually SBP decrease of 4-6 mmHg and
diastolic decrease of 3 mmHg Resistance Training
BP decrease of 4/4 Recommendations:
30 min of activity most days of the week
Moderate salt restriction
Diet of fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products
DASH Trial: One of 3 diets:
Control diet: LOW in fruits, vegetables, and legumes and HIGH in snacks, sweets, meats and saturated fat
Trial diet: HIGH in fruits, vegetables, and legumes and LOW in snacks and sweets
Combination diet: HIGH in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and low fat dairy products and LOW in snacks, sweets, meats, and saturated fat
Trial diet: Decrease in BP by 2.8/1.1 mmHg
Combination diet: Decrease in BP by 5.5/3 mmHg
If dx of HTN, even more benefit 11.4/5.5 mmHg
BP decrease was max at end of week 2 and continued until end of trial (week 8)
Regardless of sodium, DASH diet lowered BP
Low sodium in either diet lowered BP Biggest benefit between high sodium
control diet and low sodium dash diet
11.5 mmHg
Alcohol use Women with 2 or more drinks daily and men
with 3 or more drinks daily have higher chance of HTN
Dose related effect Is some alcohol good for me??
LOW to MODERATE amount may be 1 drink/day for women 1-2 drinks/day in men
