DISCLOSURE
I have nothing to disclose.
PHARMACIST OBJECTIVES
1. Identify blood pressure goals set by JNC 8 for adult patients.
2. Compare and contrast JNC 8 recommendations with other current guidelines.
3. Recommend appropriate therapy for hypertensive patients according to JNC 8.

TECHNICIAN OBJECTIVES
1. Define hypertension.
2. Identify JNC 8.
3. Identify medications used to treat hypertension.
THE FACTS
Hypertension is the most common chronic condition addressed by primary care providers� In 2010 ~78 million US adults with HTN, 50% uncontrolled
Close relationship exists between blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular events, strokes, and kidney disease� Risk is lowest at 115/75 mmHg
� For every � of 20 mmHg in SBP or 10 mmHg in DBP the risk of major CV and stroke events double
� Lack of evidence to justify treating HTN down to 115/75
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension. 2014;16:14-26.
THE DRAMA
Eighth Joint National Committee of Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 8)� Appointed in 2008 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
June 2013� NHLBI announced that the agency was withdrawing from issuing guidelines itself and would instead
collaborate with “partner organizations”
August 2013� AHA and ACC reached an agreement with NHLBI to “spearhead” development of 3 sets of practice
guidelines – HTN, cholesterol, obesity

THE DRAMA CONTINUES
JNC 8 panel members weren’t comfortable with “the idea of shopping our guideline around prior to publication and getting an endorsement.” � AHA/ACC failed to reach an agreement with JNC 8 panel members
The big deal...� Many experts with a very significant stake in the recommendations were excluded from the process of generating
the guideline
Guidelines published in JAMA as a “Report from the Panel Members Appointed to JNC 8”
“Unlike the previous JNC reports, this one will be seen as interesting, but not as persuasive.”

QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
1. In adults with hypertension, does initiating antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy at specific BP thresholds improve health outcomes?
2. In adults with hypertension, does treatment with antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy to a specified BP goal lead to improvements in health outcomes?
3. In adults with hypertension, do various antihypertensive drugs or drug classes differ in comparative benefits and harms on specific health outcomes?
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.

“…post hoc analysis of a small subgroup (8%) of the
study population that was not prespecified. As a result,
the evidence was graded as low quality.”

12
RECOMMENDATION 6
In the general nonblack population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide-type diuretic, calcium channel blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, or angiotensin receptor blocker.
(Moderate Recommendation – Grade B)
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.
SO MUCH FOR OTHER COMPELLING INDICATIONS
Thiazide, CCB, ACEI, ARB:� Comparable effects on overall mortality and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and kidney outcomes
� One exception – heart failure
Heart failure� Thiazide more effective than a CCB or ACEI, and ACEI more effective than a CCB in improving
outcomes
� Despite this, it still doesn’t get it’s own compelling indication in JNC 8
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.
(heart failure, MI, stroke, high CVD risk)
WHAT ABOUT THE BETA-BLOCKERS
Review of evidence1. Performed similarly to the other drugs in some trials
2. Evidence was insufficient to make a determination in other trials
3. LIFE trial
LIFE trial� Losartan vs. atenolol
� Found a higher incidence of stroke with a beta-blocker than with an ARB
� Losartan n = 232 (5%) vs. atenolol n = 309 (7%), p = 0.001

RECOMMENDATION 7
In the general black population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide-type diuretic or calcium channel blocker.
(For black patients without diabetes: Moderate Recommendation – Grade B)
(For black patients with diabetes: Weak Recommendation – Grade C)
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: ALLHAT
Evidence for this population came from a prespecified subgroup in the ALLHAT trial� ACEI (lisinopril) vs. CCB (amlodipine) vs. thiazide (chlorthalidone)
JAMA. 2002;288(23):2981-2997.
RECOMMENDATION 8
In the population aged >18 years with chronic kidney disease (CKD), initial (or add-on) antihypertensive treatment should include an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker to improve kidney outcomes. This applies to all CKD patients with hypertension regardless of race or diabetes status.
(Moderate Recommendation – Grade B)
� “Neither ACEIs nor ARBs improved cardiovascular outcomes for CKD patients compared with a β-blocker or CCB.”
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.

Recommendations 6–8:
JAMA. 2014;311(5):507-520.
RECOMMENDATION 9
The main objective of hypertension treatment is to attain and maintain goal blood pressure. If goal BP is not reached within a month of treatment, increase the dose of the initial drug or add a second drug from one of the classes in recommendation 6 (thiazide-type diuretic, CCB, ACEI, or ARB). The clinician should continue to assess BP and adjust the treatment regimen until goal BP is reached. If goal BP cannot be reached with 2 drugs, add and titrate a third drug from the list provided. Do not use an ACEI and an ARB together in the same patient. If goal BP cannot be reached using only the drugs in recommendation 6 because of a contraindication or the need to use more than 3 drugs to reach goal BP, antihypertensive drugs from other classes can be used. Referral to a hypertension specialist may be indicated for patients in whom goal BP cannot be attained using the above strategy or for the management of complicated patients for whom additional clinical consultation is needed.
