bp goal for everyone
< 130/80
aa
thiazides and CCBs
CKD
ace or arb
dialysis
thiazide or CCBs, nothing left to preserve
gen population 1st line tx
thiazide, ace, arb, ccb
mean arterial pressure (MAP)
systolic + 2(diastolic) / 3
bp can be reduced by
- volume of fluid or
- dilate the vessels (- inotrope, - chonotrope)
decrease volume via kidneys
diuretics (ex. thiazide, loops, k sparing)
electrolyte disturbances
meds that increase bp
- estrogen
- corticosteroids (nsaids, COX2)
- SNRI’s
- migraine meds
lifestyle modifications for weight loss
- lose weight
- sodium intake <2.4 g a day
- dash diet
- less alcohol
bb ONLY for pts with
heart disease, not recommended for initial tx of uncomplicated htn
HTN in patients with CAD
- BB with ace/arb
good for patients with: - angina
- post MI
- after heart attack
HTN in patients with CHF
- low dose BB
- ace/arb
- entresto (sacubitril + arb (valsartan)
- aldosterone antagonist
