How much can blood pressure be lowered?

J Menard, G Chatellier, P Degoulet

    Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979)
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Treatment for high blood pressure often falls short of goals, with many patients failing to reach target diastolic blood pressure levels. Standardizing treatment analysis is crucial for improving hypertension management outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Public Health
    • Clinical Trials

    Background:

    • Therapeutic goals for diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients are frequently not achieved in real-world settings.
    • Published data indicates significant percentages of treated patients do not reach target blood pressure levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of antihypertensive treatments across different healthcare systems.
    • To highlight the discrepancies between proposed therapeutic goals and actual patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from controlled therapeutic trials (Australian trial, Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program).
    • Review of treatment outcomes in British hospital clinics and a specific clinic in Paris (Artemis system).
    • Assessment of diastolic blood pressure levels in treated hypertensive patients.

    Main Results:

    • 24.5% to 29.9% of actively treated patients in trials exceeded 90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure.
    • Up to 69% of treated patients in British clinics had diastolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg after 6-12 months.
    • In one study, 21.1% of patients still had diastolic blood pressure >95 mm Hg after 2 years of treatment.
    • Rates of treated patients not attaining goal levels in the general population range from 42.9% to 71%.

    Conclusions:

    • Current antihypertensive treatments show suboptimal results in achieving target diastolic blood pressure across various healthcare systems.
    • There is an urgent need to standardize methods for collecting and analyzing antihypertensive treatment results.
    • Therapeutic failures may stem from physician strategy, patient factors, disease characteristics, and drug limitations.
