32. Limitations of Clinical Trials
• Mostly high risk / elderly patients:
i.e. younger / low risk patients are not represented
• Short durations (4 – 5 years):
i.e. the extra 20 – 30 years are not studied
• Multiple combined primary end points:
i.e. single end point as a beneficial effect, can not be concluded
• Limitations of meta-analysis:
i.e.: by definition, they are post-hoc analysis
33. Facts that we now know:
• Antihypertensive Rx = Less CV morbidity & mortality
• The benefits extend to isolated systolic hypertension
• The beneficial effect is present across men & women in various ethnic
groups
• 30 -40% risk reduction in stroke
• 20% risk reduction in coronary events
• Large reduction in heart failure

C = calcium channel blocker D = thiazide type diuretic
42. Conclusions
• Hypertension is the commonest cause of major
morbidity, but less than a quarter of patients are
adequately treated.
• A reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality and
morbidity can be achieved through improved treatment
and control of hypertension.
• A greater choice of drugs are available for hypertension
than for other chronic diseases
• Rational choice of single and combination drugs
facilitated by understanding their effects on the renin
system, but systematic trial and error may still be
necessary

It is well known that untreated hypertension can cause a progressive decline to cardiac failure or kidney failure.

Circadian rhythms - the body’s 24-hour pattern of cyclical activity - have attracted attention for many years, most frequently with respect to the human sleep-wake cycle.
A number of studies have assessed the impact of circadian variations on blood pressure (BP). BP levels follow a typical pattern: they are highest in the early morning and then decline to a trough value after midnight, to rise again at awakening (“morning surge”).
Weber M.A. et al.; Rev Cardiovasc Med 5 (3): 148-155; 2004
Several large-scale epidemiological studies have shown that adverse cardiovascular events occur unevenly during the circadian cycle, peaking in the early hours after awakening.
An analysis of the data from the ISAM study, for example, demonstrated a circadian pattern in the incidence of MI: researchers timed the occurrence of MI on the basis of the onset of clinical symptoms, and found a significantly higher incidence between 6 a.m. and noon than in the other periods of the day.
There is also evidence showing a circadian variation in the occurrence of sudden cardiac death, which was more prevalent between 7 and 11 a.m.
Weber M.A. et al.; Rev Cardiovasc Med 5 (3): 148-155; 2004
Proteinuria: predicting cardiovascular events and survival in diabetes
Increased urinary albumin and protein excretion is associated with cardiovascular disease mortality independent of other cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. In a 7-year follow up of non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic patients, survival in type II diabetics was also shown to be related to the severity of proteinuria experienced by the patients (no proteinuria, borderline proteinuria and overt proteinuria). Furthermore, as well as overall survival, the incidence of cardiovascular events such as stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and coronary events also increase with severity of proteinuria.
These findings are compatible with the hypothesis that increased urinary protein excretion is not merely an indicator of renal damage, but may be indicative of more widespread vascular damage.
