office/clinic/healthcare –> no HTN
home –> HTN

23
Q

how is white coat HTN classified in each setting?

A

office/clinic/healthcare –> HTN
home –> no HTN

24
Q

what are benefits of HBPM and ABPM?

A

confirm diagnosis
aide in medication titration
identify white coat and masked HTN
better predictor of long-term CV outcomes

25
Q

what are the cons of HBPM and ABPM?

A

user error
equipment cost
insurance reimbursement

26
Q

what is normal BP?

A

under 120/80

27
Q

what is elevated BP?

A

120-129 / under 80

28
Q

what is HTN stage 1?

A

130-139 / 80-90

29

what is HTN stage 2?

A

+140 / +90

30
Q

how should normal BP be treated?

A

promote a healthy lifestyle
reassess BP in 1 year

31
Q

how should elevated BP be treated?

A

recommend non-pharm tx
reassess BP in 3-6 months

32
Q

how should HTN stage 1 be treated?

A

pt has ASCVD risk >10% or specific comorbidity –> use non-pharm, a medication, and reassess BP in 1 month
none –> nonpharm with reassess BP in 3-6 months

33
Q

how should HTN stage 2 be treated?

A

non-pharm interventions and 2 meds
reassess BP in 1 month

34

A

140 / 90

36
Q

what is goals of treatment for HTN?

A

decrease morbidity/mortality
reach BP targets
select agents with proven CV benefit

37
Q

what is the BP goals per ACC/AHA guidelines?

A

under 130/80 but under 140/90 for elderly

38
Q

why is the BP goal for elderly less strict?

A

high comorbidity burden
limited life expectancy
greater chance of a hypoglycemia risk and fall risk
