    This document outlines guidelines for diagnosing and treating hypertension. It defines normal blood pressure and stages of high blood pressure. First line drug treatments include ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics. Lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise, reducing alcohol and salt intake, and stopping smoking are also recommended treatments. Secondary causes of hypertension like renal, endocrine diseases, and drugs are investigated.

    Lowers arteriolar resistance and increases venous capacitance

    Profound hypotension following first dose


    Causes mild dry cough
    ACE Inhibitor Contraindicated in bilateral renal artery stenosis (reduced renal
    artery blood flow) - perform peripheral vascular exam
    Check renal function after very change of dose

    Directly causes vasodilation and reduce secretion of aldosterone


    Preventable cause of Drugs
    ARB / AT-II Used in patients who cannot tolerate ACE-I
    premature morbidity and
    mortality Major risk factor for CV disease
    Causes arteriolar dilatation and reduces force of cardiac contraction
    Often asymptomatic Calcium Channel Blocker SE: headaches, ankle swelling, sweating

    Normal Affect serum cholesterol and glucose levels

    Persistantly high BP > 160 / 100 mmHg


    Persistantly BP > 140 / 100 mmHg + raised CV risk
    High risk: FH, obesity, high LDL, impaired Diet and exercise
