Definition: Persistently high arterial blood pressure,defined as systolic blood pressure above 140 mm Hgand / or diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm Hg.
Hypertension is the most common public health problemin developed countries.
Called Silent Killer
No cure is available, but prevention and managementdecrease the incidence of hypertension and itscomplications

Origins dates back to 2600 BC Suspect hypertension by the quality of one’s pulse Hard pulse that could not be compressed was often treated with
bleeding and leeches.
1733, Reverend Stephen Hales First published measurement of blood pressure.
Description of hypertension as a disease did not happen until 1808 byThomas Young and Richard Bright in 1836.
1896, Riva-Rocci developed the first Cuff Based Sphygmomanometer
that allow BP measurement in the clinic settings.
1905, Korotkoff improve the technique with the discovery of Korotkoff sounds, heard when the artery is osculated with stethoscope whilesphygmomanometer cuff is deflated.

Essential (Primary)Hypertension 90-95%
No obvious underlying medical cause
Secondary hypertension 5-10%
There are underlying causes such as conditions that affectthe kidneys, arteries, heart, and endocrine system.

Hypertension is most often asymptomatic
Commonly, the only sign is consistent elevation of the bloodpressure.
The following signs and symptoms may occur with severehypertension:
Headaches
Blurred Vision
Target organ damage
31% of people with Blood Pressure exceeding 140/90 wereasymptomatic and unaware of having hypertension.

Moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure isassociated with a shortened life expectancy.
Dietary and lifestyle changes can improve bloodpressure control and decrease the risk of associated health complications, although drugtreatment is often necessary in people for whom
lifestyle changes prove ineffective or insufficient

Historically, treatment of what is called “hard pulse disease” mainlyconsist of reducing the quantity of blood using blood letting or application of leeches.
Advocated by Emperor of China
Cornelius Celsius
Hippocrates
1900, the first chemical for hypertension, Sodium Thiocyanate
In 1950 Chlorothiazide, a diuretic, became available.

Lifestyle modifications For prevention and management
Lose weight
Limit alcohol intake
Increase physical activities Reduce sodium intake
Maintain adequate intake of potassium.
For overall and cardiovascular health
Maintain adequate intake of calcium and magnesium
Stop smoking
Reduce dietary saturated fat and cholesterol.

1 out of every 3 adult persons 25 years and older havehypertension (2012 WH0)
Higher prevalence in low and moderate economicregions
Africa highest prevalence of hypertension (36.8% for both sexes in 2008)
America’s region Lowest with about 35%, men having39%, and women 32%.
It is projected that by 2025, ¾ of adult population wouldhave hypertension probably because of urbanization.

Trend: The prevalence rate of uncontrolled hypertensionhas reduced from the 80s till the 2008
Men: from 33% to 29% Women: from 29%-25%
The prevalence of hypertension worldwide is also said tohave reduced but the population growth has led to an
increase in the total persons with hypertension (from605M to 978M).

Why is prevention so important?
Prevention can prevent disease and complications of thedisease.
As mentioned earlier hypertension is one of the mostexpensive health conditions and one of the mostpreventable.
Preventative measures can also be considered earlytreatment.
7/29/2019 Epi HBP
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/epi-hbp 39/71
Why is prevention so important?
A meta-analysis of four trials showed that reducing bloodpressure led to a 15% reduction in cardiovascular events,
a 20% reduction in strokes, and a 10% reduction incoronary heart disease events (Goetzel,2003).
Framingham study with white men and women aged from
35- 64 years old showed a reduction in just 2 mm Hg fromthe DBP results in a reduction of 17% in the prevalence of hypertension (Cook, 1995).
7/29/2019 Epi HBP

Prevention includes screening.
In 1984 Johnson showed that door-to-door screening with junior high students was effective in Orange Mound.
Being revisited currently. Healthy Shelby –barbershop screening, church
congregations with CHC.
Church Health Center and Christ Community

Based on reducing these modifiable risk factors:
Excessive body weight
Diet
High sodium intake
Low potassium intake
Sedentary lifestyle
Excessive alcohol intake
Smoking is a risk factor for CAD but does not cause highblood pressure.

Mild Weight Loss- As little as 5% weight loss results in 52%resolution of mild hypertension (Fogari, 2010)
Moderate Weight Loss- 18 lb weight loss results in decrease of blood pressure of SBP of 8.5 mm Hg and DBP of 6.5 mm Hg
(Bacon, 2004). Percentages of incidence reduction vary up to 77%(He, 2000)
Severe Weight Loss- Pure weight loss without changing diet(surgery) showed 46 lb loss showed 54% resolution of hypertension
plus additional 15% improved for total of 69% resolved or improved(Carson, 1994)
7/29/2019 Epi HBP
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/epi-hbp 44/71
Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH)- rich infruits, vegetables, potassium, low sodium, and low fat.
DASH diet alone reduced SBP 5.5 mm Hg and DBP 3.0
mm Hg (Bacon, 2004).
He (2000) showed a 35% risk reduction with diet.
Other dietary components still being studied are theeffects of coffee, calcium supplementation, and fish oil.

Aerobic, endurance exercise (as opposed to power exercise) alone resulted in reductions of both SBP (3.35mm Hg) and DBP (2.58 mm Hg). This was found in bothnormotensive, hypertensive, overweight, and normal-
weight people (Hernelahti, 2002).
Weight loss combined with exercise resulted in reducingSBP 12.5 mm Hg and DBP 7.9 mm Hg (Bacon, 2004).

1 drink = 14 grams alcohol= 1.5 oz 80-proof liquor=5 ozwine=12 oz beer.
The association between hypertension and alcohol is alittle more confusing but appears that moderate to severe
consumption (>210 grams/ week,15 drinks) increases therisk of hypertension in all groups to the result of SBP 3.31mm Hg and DBP 2.04 mm Hg. (Fuchs, 1997)
Low to moderate consumption (<210 g/week) was a risk toonly African American men. (Fuchs, 1997)
Moderate consumption is defined as 1 drink/ day for women and 2 drinks / for men.

Goals of treatment- The goal is simple and that is to reduce the BP to normal
or near normal levels adjusted for age and existingcomorbidity.
Normal is 120/80 but goals are to get it less than 140/90in patients without comorbidities or less than 130/80 indiabetes or chronic kidney disease.

Social- 28.6% African Americans in Memphis live under the poverty level
( Hispanics 38.6% and White 9.6%).
Education and understanding are essential interventions in preventing andtreating hypertension and poverty limits choice in education (Many state tie
school budgets to property taxes). Poverty limits choice in housing and environment.
Limited access to transportation to provider visits.
Limited ability to leave work for provider visits.
Less family support structure (Martins, 2004).
Peer pressure for unhealthy lifestyles. Stress “When things don't go the way I want them to, that just makes me
work even harder“ (John Henryism).
7/29/2019 Epi HBP
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/epi-hbp 56/71
Medical- Poor areas are also underserved areas
Limited access to providers
Higher poverty limits health insurance and drug plans.
Cultural food preferences of higher salt and fat content. Low calcium intake with high prevalence of lactose intolerance.
Low adherence to treatment plan with some medication side effectsmore common in African Americans.
Distrust of medical establishment (Tuskegee syphilis study from 1932-
1972, penicillin recognized as effective in the 1940s). Birth in 1972 isonly 40 year old.

Disparities- Well established significant racial disparities. Penner (2007) and
Kaucchi (2005) both divide the reasons for the health caredisparity as:
Genetic/biologic- May not be as significant as once thought.
Social/economic- This is significant as much higher percentage African Americans are under the poverty level, but even if corrected disparities exist. Race is not a proxy for socioeconomicclass.
Prejudice, related processes. Penner (2007)calls it more of anunconscious racism of the healthcare system and Kaucchi (2005)refers more to an unmentioned “caste- like” attitude against
African Americans.
