Background
- JNC 7 recommends 2 or more properly measured, seated blood pressure readings on each of 2 or more office visits to establish the diagnosis of hypertension[1]
JNC-7 Classification
Class | Systolic | Diasolic | |
Normal | <120 | and | <80 |
Pre-hypertension | 120-130 | or | 80-89 |
Stage 1 | 140-150 | or | 90-99 |
Stage 2 | ≥160 | or | ≥100 |
- JNC-8 Changes: In patients ≥60 yr the threshold has increased from <140/90 to <150/90[2]
Clinical Features
- None (asymptomatic by definition)
Differential Diagnosis
Hypertension
- Hypertensive emergency
- Stroke
- Sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema
- Ischemic stroke
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Preeclampsia/Eclampsia
- Autonomic dysreflexia
- Scleroderma renal crisis
- Acute glomerulonephritis
- Type- I myocardial infarction
- Volume overload
- Urinary obstruction
- Drug use or overdose (e.g stimulants, especially alcohol, cocaine, or Synthroid)
- Renal Artery Stenosis
- Nephritic and nephrotic syndrome
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Tyramine reaction
- Cushing's syndrome
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Pheochromocytoma
- Hyperaldosteronism
- Hyperthyroidism
- Anxiety
- Pain
- Oral contraceptive use
Evaluation
- Upreg
- <120 diastolic
- No screening ED workup --> home with outpatient treatment
- >210 systolic or >120-130 diastolic
- Chem 7 (creatinine) --> home with outpatient treatment if no evidence of acute renal failure
- "No other diagnostic screening tests (e.g. UA, ECG) appear to be useful"[3]
- Chem 7 (creatinine) --> home with outpatient treatment if no evidence of acute renal failure
- Routine screening for acute target organ injury (e.g. creatinine, UA, ECG) is NOT required (Level C)[3]
- In select patient populations, screening of creatinine may identify injury that affects disposition (Level C)[3]
Management
- First line for people without comorbidities
- Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, max 25mg
- Need labs before starting, does not work in people with CKD
- Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, max 25mg
- First line for people with DM and/or proteinuria
- ACEi/ARB: Lisinopril either Qday or BID
- Need Chem 10 before and after starting to check for hyperkalemia and creatinine
- Start 10mg lisinopril QD
- ACEi/ARB: Lisinopril either Qday or BID
- Anyone with CAD, CHF
- Beta-Blocker (do not need labs)
- Amlodipine for anyone, except for people with LE edema (do not need labs)
- Start amlodipine 5mg QD
- Diltiazem for proteinuria in people unable to tolerate ACEi (do not need labs)
- Lasix for CHF and/or lower extremity edema secondary to proteinuria
JNC 8 Recommendations[2]
Population | Non-black Patients | Black Patients |
---|---|---|
General population | thiazide, CCB, ACEI, or ARB | thiazide or CCB |
CKD | ACEI or ARB | ACEI or ARB |
DM | thiazide, CCB, ACEI, or ARB | thiazide or CCB |
- Routine ED medical intervention is NOT required (Level C)[3]
- In select patient populations, physicians may treat markedly elevated blood pressure in the ED and/or initiate therapy for long-term control (Level C)[3]
- Patients should be referred for outpatient follow up (Level C)[3]
Disposition
- See workup, if no evidence of acute renal failure, outpatient treatment
