About 1 in 3 adults - 73 million have hypertension (SBP >140 / 90) a 55yo normotensive person has up to a 90% lifetime risk of developing hypertension. Hypertension may be an important compensatory mechanism which should not be tampered with.

All Rights Reserved, Duke Medicine 2007 sb/Strategy & Innovation Group | 20 Guidelines, Performance Measures and Policy Guideline: In past: practical advice on a course of action Have become: RCT-based, rigorous
Performance Measures: Distillation of guidelines: Use strict criteria to define what should and must be done to avoid a quality concern Often applied to public reporting or financial incentives
All Rights Reserved, Duke Medicine 2007 sb/Strategy & Innovation Group | 21 BP Treatment Targets Have Risks Both Ways If one votes to keep all at 140/90 PMs and incentives may encourage over-treatment Worse symptoms, falls, costs in elderly
If one votes to move to 150/90 in elderly Risk of under-treatment Despite existing guideline goals/PMs, <50% of public reaches goal!

Using JNC 8: 60.8 million in US have hypertension, of which 56.4% have controlled blood pressure. In 60+, switching to JNC-8 improves BP control rates from 34.3% to 60.8% reclassifying 13.6 million with previously uncontrolled BP now seen as under control
All Rights Reserved, Duke Medicine 2007 sb/Strategy & Innovation Group | 24 Conclusions Hypertension: common, costly and modifiable
Interpretation of existing evidence is challenging Determining the optimal threshold will require more RCTs.
In interim: My view: Aim for 140/90 but allow for individualization Whats your take?
