Systolic Hypertension
Adjusted relative risk of CHD death according to deciles of baseline SBP and DBP in men screened
for the MRFIT. Relative risk was adjusted for age, race, serum cholesterol, cigarettes per day, use of
medication for diabetes, and income, using a multiple Cox proportional hazards model.
(He J, & Whelton P. J Hypertens 17 (Suppl. 2) 1999)
Risk of Hypertension (2)
Adjusted relative risk of stroke death according to deciles of baseline SBP and DBP in men screened for
the MRFIT. Relative risk was adjusted for age, race, serum cholesterol, cigarettes per day, use of
medication for diabetes, and income, using a multiple Cox proportional hazards model.
(He J, & Whelton P. J Hypertens 7 (Suppl. 2), 1999)
Risk of Hypertension (3)
Adjusted relative risk of end-stage renal disease according to quantile of baseline SBP and DBP in
men screened for the MRFIT. Relative risk was adjusted for age, race, serum cholesterol, cigarettes
per day, use of medication for diabetes, and income, using a multiple Cox proportional hazards
model. He J, & Whelton P. J Hypertens. 17 (Suppl. 2) 1999

• Coexisting diseases and therapies
• Hemodynamic profile
• Complication of hypertension
• Economic considerations
Classes of
Antihypertensive Drugs
• ACE inhibitors
• β-blockers
• Angiotensin II receptor blockers
• Calcium antagonists
• Direct vasodilators
• Diuretics
• Central symphatolytic
• α1- blockers
Guidelines for selecting drug treatment of hypertension
Elicit concerns and questions and provide opportunities for the patient to
state specific behaviors to carry out treatment recommendations
Emphasize:
Need to continue treatment
Control does not mean cure
One cannot tell if BP is elevated by feeling or symptoms; BP must be
measured
