“Older generation drugs used to bring down the
B.P. fairly well at reasonable cost.”
Then, Why do we need new drugs ?
• Observational and limited controlled trials

for CVAs and IHD
• Unfriendly dosing schedule

Potential Pathogenic Properties
of Angiotensin II
 Heart
– Myocardial hypertrophy
– Interstitial fibrosis
 Coronary Arteries
– Endothelial dysfunction with decreased release of nitric oxide
– Coronary constriction via release of norepinephrine
– Formation of oxygen-derived free radicals via NADH
(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) oxidase
– Promotion of inflammatory response and plaque instability
– Promotion of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol uptake

Results
• Overall mortality was similar in the two groups
• 13% RRR (p=.009) in combined end point
• Predominantly because of a 27% decrease in
hospitalization for HF in the valsartan group
• Subgroup analyses:
– Valsartan had a favorable effect in patients
receiving neither an ACE inhibitor nor a betablocker
– Valsartan had a favorable effect in patients
receiving an ACE inhibitor or a beta blocker
– Valsartan demonstrated a statistically nonsignificant trend towards an adverse outcome in

Diuretics
Because of the superiority of thiazide-type
diuretics in preventing one or more major
forms of CVD and their lower cost, they
should be the drugs of choice for first-step
antihypertensive drug therapy.

Cardiovascular Diseases
• Cerebrovascular disease
–Indication for treatment, except immediately
after ischemic cerebral infarction.
• Coronary artery disease
–Benefits of therapy well established.
• Left ventricular hypertrophy
–Antihypertensive agents (except direct
vasodilators) indicated.
–Reduced weight and decreased sodium
intake beneficial.
Cardiovascular
Diseases (continued)
• Cardiac failure
–ACE inhibitors, especially with digoxin or
diuretics, shown to prevent subsequent
heart failure.
• Peripheral arterial disease
–Limited or no data available.
New Features and Key Messages
 For persons over age 50, SBP is a more important
than DBP as CVD risk factor
 Starting at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk doubles with
each increment of 20/10 mmHg throughout the BP
range.
 Persons who are normotensive at age 55 have a
90% lifetime risk for developing HTN.
 Those with SBP 120–139 mmHg or DBP 80–89
mmHg should be considered prehypertensive who
require health-promoting lifestyle modifications to
prevent CVD.
JNC-VII New Features and
Key Messages (Continued)
Thiazide-type diuretics should be initial
drug therapy for most, either alone or
combined with other drug classes.
 Certain high-risk conditions are compelling
indications for other drug classes.
 Most patients will require two or more
antihypertensive drugs to achieve goal BP.
If BP is >20/10 mmHg above goal, initiate
therapy with two agents, one usually
should be a thiazide-type diuretic.
Preventable CHD Events from Control
of Hypertension in US Adults
(Wong et al., Am Heart J 2003; 145: 888-95) (cont.)
• The greatest impact (absolute numbers)
from control of hypertension occurs in
men, older persons, and those with
isolated systolic hypertension
• The greatest proportion of preventable
CHD events from control of hypertension
occurs in women
• Optimal control of blood pressure could
prevent more than one third of CHD events
in men and more than half of CHD events
in women

Aliskiren is a novel, completely nonpeptide, orally active renin
inhibitor that blocks the first and rate-limiting step of the reninangiotensin system
Alagebrium, an advanced glycation end product (AGE)
crosslink breaker, has been shown to reduce SBP in patients
with uncontrolled systolic hypertension,
progestin drospirenone and 17beta-estradiol (DRSP/E2),
developed for postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy,
has been shown to lower both clinic and ambulatory SBP in
