Benefit of BP reduction
In clinical studies was during antihypertensive therapy
recorded:
35-40% incidence reduction of stroke
20-25% incidence reduction of myocardial infarction
more than 50% share at incidence reduction of heart
failure
it is assumed that among patients at first stage of
hypertension (140-159/90-99 mm Hg) and with other
cardiovascular risk factors, permanent reduction of BP
by 12 mm Hg during 10 years prevents one death from
11 treated patients (when CVS disease or organ
affection, it is one from 9)
Effectivity of BP reduction
Evaluation of patients
All of these datas influence the prognosis and therapy selection.
Evaluation of patients with diagnosed hypertension has importance to:
evaluate the way of living + reveal other CVS risk factors and/or
associated diseases
Treatment
The final goal of antihypertensive therapy
is reduction of mortality and morbidity to
CVS and renal diseases.
Primary goal is reduction of systolic BP.
We wamt to reach BP less than 140/90
mm Hg (Torr), or less than 130/80 mm Hg
among diabetic patients and patients with
kidney diseases
Needed is also increased detection!
Nonpharmacological treatment
Change of life-style:
intake of salt ... 5 6 g per day
prevention of obesity dietetic modification
alcohol ... 30 g per day
smoking stop
physical activity
psychical relaxation
Pharmacologic treatment
Antihypertensives
1st choice drugs:
1. diuretics
2. -blockers
3. inhibitors of ACE
4. blockers of AT1 receptors (ARB)
5. calcium channel blockers
Diuretics
Diuretics
increase urination
1. carboanhydrase inhibitors (acetazolamid) not used in
the treatment of hypertension
2. loop diuretics (furosemide, etacrynic acid,
bumetanide) strong short-lasting effect; ability to
excrete to 25 % of Na+ from filtrate
block active reabsorption of Na+, Cl-, K+ from
ascending limb of Henles loop
at treatment of hypertension is rarely used only
furosemide in low dosage if simultaneously is very
much reduced G filtration;
they arent suitable for long-lasting application
-blockers
Classifications:
1. non-selective (1- aj 2-effect propranolol, metipranolol, ...);
selective (1-effect metoprolol, bisoprolol, atenolol, ...);
hybrid substances (beside -effect have also other effects,
additional, resp. 2-mimetic effect), through which they induce
vazodilation labetalol, carvedilol, nebivolol, ...)
the most important classification
2. -blockers with ISA (intrinsic sympathomimetic activity
pindolol, acebutolol, ...; parcial agonists) and without ISA
3. hydrophilic (atenolol, celiprolol, ...) and lipophilic -blockers
(propranolol, metoprolol, carvedilol, ...)
4. classification according to generations
....... and other different classifications....
-blockers
ADRs:
tendency to bronchoconstriction and to vasoconstriction
in the periphery mainly at non-selective B
metabolic ADR worsening of lipidogram; mask
symptoms of hypoglycemia and can impair glucose
tollerance more at non-selective B
sleep disturbances, bad dreams ... depression
at very high doses can worsen heart failure; if indicated
at chronic heart failure, dose should be increased step by
step
erectile dysfunction
- phenylalkylamins (verapamil)
- benzothiazepins (diltiazem)
Selectivity of CCB
Blood vessels
vasodilation of arterial
vasculature
Heart: decrease of
Heart

conduction
Strenght of
contraction
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Inhibitors of AC enzyme
block the change of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and at the
same time block inactivation of bradykinin
vazodilation in both resistant and capacitance vessels
accented indication:
- hypertonic people with heart failure (vasodilating therapy
of cardial insuficiency), also after myocardial infarction
- hypertonic people with DM and different forms of diabetic
nephropathy starting with mikroalbuminuria
(nephroprotective effect of ACEI)
excessive initial fall in BP postural hypotension or
syncope; treatment should be started in bed from the lowest
doses
reaction of airways is often strong and irritating cough
intollerance of the whole group replacement to AT1
receptor blockers
used
ADRs:
impaired renal function, hyperkalemia, hypotension, dry cough,
angioneurotic edema
contraindications: pregnancy!, high concentration of potassium and
creatinine, stenosis of a. renalis on both sides, severe aortal stenosis,
angioneurotic edema in anamnesis
1-sympatholytics
beside BP reduction they reduce benign prostatic hyperplasia
indication mainly older man with simultaneous BPH
in combination at severe resistant hypertension
positively influence lipidogram
strong 1st dose phenomenon! postural hypotension,
syncopes
prazosin (prototype; Deprazolin), doxazosin (Cardura),
terazosin
1-lytic only for the treatment of BPH, without vasodilating effects
tamsulosin
2-sympathomimetics
central effect stimulation of central 2 receptors
through negative feedback inhibit release of
norepinephrine on periphery reflex BP reduction
-metyldopa (Dopegyt), clonidine
ADR: central depression sleepiness, bad dreams
clonidine has significant rebound phenomenon
-metyldopa is advantageous during pregnancy
doesnt influence negatively blood circulation of
fetus
Direct vasodilators
hydralazines
specific mechanism of action is unknown; probably directly
influence contractile system of vessel wall myocytes
ADR: tachycardia, palpitations, fluid retention
necessary combinations
dihydralazine, hydralazine
suitable in pregnancy
hydralazine genet. polymorphism of biotransformation
at slow acetylators can develop as syndrome similar to
lupus erythematodes
Other antihypertensives
magnesium (MgSO4) natural antagonist of calcium
sodium nitroprusside simple molecule releasing NO;
only i.v. at severe hypertension crisis, patient must lie,
cyanide is formed; max. lenth of therapy 3 days
ketanserin blocks S2 receptors for serotonin prevents
effect increase of catecholamines on symp. receptors

Selection of pharmacotherapy
Results gained in clinical studies show that BP
reduction with using following antihypertensives
inhibitors of angiotensin converting
enzyme(ACEI), blockers of angiotensin
receptors(ARB), betablockers (B), calcium
channel blockers(Ca2+B) a diuretics, can
reduce complications of hypertension.
Base of medicament treatment of uncomplicated
hypertension in the first stage should be
according to JNC 7 thiazide diuretics alone, or
in combination with other antihypertensives in
the second stage of hypertension.
Reaching BP improvement at
specific patients
Among most patients is necessary combination
of 2 and more antihypertensives.
Adminastration of other drug should start when
monotherapy in required dose doesnt reduce
BP to intended value.
If the BP is by 20/10 mm Hg higher than
intended value, therapy should be started with
combination of 2 antihypertensives.
perindopril-amlodipine
perindopril-indapamide

European Society of Hypertension (ESH)
ESH as the drug of 1st choice doesnt prefer thiazide
diuretics so much, but recommends more or less equal
position of all 4 groups D, B, Ca2+B, ACEI
