    Abstract BP treatment thresholds/targets determine when to initiate treatment and to what level BP should be reduced. The Seventh Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC-7) recommended a target of <140/90 for most patients and a target <130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Subsequently, meta-analyses, retrospective studies relating on-treatment BP to clinical outcomes and two large, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have re-evaluated BP targets. In Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD), a systolic blood pressure (SBP) <120 mmHg was found not to be superior to SBP <140 mmHg in diabetics. In SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) which studied a different population, the lower target resulted in a 25% cardiovascular event reduction. Despite unresolved issues, certain recommendations can be made with confidence. SBP >160 mmHg should, with rare exceptions, be treated. The historical threshold/target of 140/90 mmHg remains reasonable in most patients in identifying "treatable" risk, i.e., risk high enough to justify treatment and for which available treatment is effective enough to result in significant endpoint reduction. Above 140/90 mmHg, most low-to-moderate risk people should be treated and this target is also appropriate for the majority of high-risk individuals with diabetes, CKD, and/or CAD. The advisability of initiating or intensifying treatment with BPs in the 130s remains equivocal. The next steps in the search for more precise BP targets should include (1) standardization of BP measurement techniques and (2) well-designed RCTs evaluating a treatment target of SBP <130 in carefully categorized patient populations.

    Gradman, Alan H

    Abstract LCZ696 is a single molecule which combines the angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan with the neprilysn inhibitor sacubitril (AHU377). In the recently published PARADIGM-HF trial, LCZ696 proved superior to enalapril in reducing overall mortality, heart failure hospitalizations, and other endpoints in patients with systolic dysfunction heart failure. Increases in counter-regulatory natriuretic peptides which oppose sodium retention, vasoconstriction, and the deleterious structural changes which follow neurohormonal activation are thought to account for these improved outcomes. In two large hypertension studies, LCZ696 has proved to be a potent, effective antihypertensive agent with tolerability similar to valsartan and placebo and potency comparable to amlodipine. Although several have occurred in the heart failure population, there have been no cases of angioedema noted in the hypertension trials, although few black patients-a group at high risk for its occurrence-have been studied. Whether LCZ696 will displace angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) as preferred renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blocking agents in hypertension will require demonstration of improved long-term outcomes compared with currently preferred first-line drugs. In this regard, experience has shown that it is difficult to extrapolate results achieved in heart failure to the treatment of hypertension, a condition in which neurohormonal activation is less critical in determining long-term prognosis. It will be particularly important to demonstrate renal protection with LCZ696 in patients with diabetes, proteinuria, and hypertension-the only therapeutic area other than heart failure in which RAS blockade has proved essential for optimal endpoint reduction. Superiority over available RAS blockers in terms of 'vascular protection' in high-risk populations represents another path to acceptance of LCZ696 as a preferred agent in cardiovascular medicine.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To achieve the target blood pressure (BP) mandated by current guidelines, a large majority of patients require simultaneous administration of multiple antihypertensive agents. The purpose of this review is to focus attention on the rational selection of effective drug combinations, and upon ways to use them efficiently to achieve therapeutic objectives. The topic is widely relevant given that more than 46  million ambulatory care visits are conducted in the United States annually for hypertension management.
    Recent findings: Recommended drug combinations exhibit complimentary pharmacology and additive BP reduction, are well tolerated, and include components with demonstrated endpoint reduction in long-term clinical trials. Recently, the choice of diuretics has emerged as a controversial issue with some evidence favoring the long-acting agent, chlorthalidone, in preference to hydrochlorothiazide. For resistant hypertension, mineralocorticoid antagonists are increasingly used as preferred add-on agents. Practical strategies for the optimal use of combination therapy continue to evolve from the older stepped-care approach to the use of low-dose combinations, and to initiation of combination therapy in a broader range of hypertensive patients.
    Summary: Thoughtful use of drug combinations is critical for achieving therapeutic objectives in hypertensive individuals and populations - more rapid BP control and more effective endpoint reduction. Practical strategies for the optimal use of combination therapy continue to evolve from the older stepped-care approach to more recent recommendations favoring the use of low-dose combinations, and initiation therapy of combination treatment, particularly in patients with Stage 2 hypertension.
