A man age 36 with a blood pressure of 150/100 will die before he reaches the retirement age of
65.
FRAMINGHAM
Over the age of 45, systolic blood pressure is a better predictor of risk than diastolic pressure.
Kannel WB, Am J Cardiol 1971; 27: 335.
Systolic versus diastolicWere we taught wrongly?
1970s. Reliable long-term epidemiological surveys in Framingham and elsewhere.
1980s. Cox’s proportional hazard model enables differentiation.
1990s. Computer hardware and software readily available.
So the current views are based on facts rather than opinions.
The definition of hypertension
“Hypertension should be defined in terms of a blood pressure level above which investigation and treatment do
more good than harm”
Grimley Evans & Rose, Br Med Bull 1971
British Hypertension Society-IVJ Human Hypertens 2004;
Thresholds and targets for treatment
Thresholds.1. Low-risk patients: (No end-organ damage or diabetes &
CVD risk < 20%).
160/100.
2. High risk patients. (End-organ damage or diabetes or CVD
risk > 20%):
140/90.
Targets.1. Diabetics:
130//80.
2. All other patients:
140/85.

Stress and hypertension
Whilst acutely stressful stimuli cause an acute rise in blood
pressure,
there is no convincing evidence that chronic stress causes

Underlying renal adrenal diseases
Millions of undiagnosed, untreated & undertreated hypertensives
The existing structure of health-care delivery has failed to solve the problem
The primary health-care team can potentially improve things.
It’s time the nurses took over.
……but only if they receive adequate postgraduate training.
