Prevalence of hypertension
• Hypertension is the most prevalent CV disorder in the world and
according to the WHO, it affects 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years
worldwide, two-thirds living in low-income and middle-income
countries.
• In 2019, the global age-standardized average prevalence of
hypertension in adults aged 30–79 years was reported to be 34% in
men and 32% in women.
• At younger ages (<50 years), hypertension is more prevalent in men,
whereas a steeper increase of SBP in women from their third decade
(and more so following menopause) makes the prevalence of
hypertension greater in women in older age categories (>65 years).

BP-lowering drugs in hypertension and heart failure.
(a) Non-DHP CCB are not recommended in HFrEF and should
not be combined with BB.
(b) Use of Diuretics:
I. Use T/TL Diuretic if eGFR >45 ml/min/1.73 m2.
II. Consider transition to Loop Diuretic if eGFR is
between 30 to 45 ml/min/1.73 m2.
III. Use loop Diuretic if eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or in
patients with fluid retention/oedema.

Key Points
1. In most patients, treatment should be initiated with an SPC of two
drugs to improve the speed, efficiency and predictability of BP control.
2. Although several two-drug combinations can be used, the preferred
two-drug combinations should be an RAS blocker with a CCB or a
Thiazide/Thiazide-like diuretic.
3. A BB can be used at any step of combination with any drug from the
other major drug classes as GDMT or in several other conditions but no
longer a first line hypertensive drug.

NYN/DMA/BPL
Key Points
4. Initial monotherapy is recommended for very-high-risk patients with
a high-normal BP as well as (for cautionary reasons) for very old and
frail patients. It may also be considered in low-risk patients with stage 1
hypertension whose SBP is more modestly elevated (<150 mmHg).
5. A combination of two antihypertensive agents and a statin at low
doses reduced the risk of CV outcomes by 38%.
6. >80% of the patient adhere to combination therapy.
