Objectives
• Review 3 major questions addressed by JNC VIII
• Engage the new HTN Algorithm with 9 recs
• Examine the list of JNC VIII initial HTN meds
• Compare JNC VIII to other HTN Guidelines
JNC VIII Key Questions
• 1. Does initiating antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy
at specific BP thresholds improve health outcomes?
• 2. Does treatment with antihypertensive pharmacologic
therapy to a specified BP goal lead to improvements in
health outcomes?
• 3. Do various antihypertensive drugs or drug classes differ
in comparative benefits and harms on specific health
outcomes?

Summary JNC VIII
• General Non - Black Population
– Thiazides, CCB, ACEI, or ARB initially
• General Black Population
– Thiazides or CCB initially
• Chronic Kidney Disease
– ACEI or ARB
• Up – titrate or add therapy after 1 month if BP goal
not achieved
– Don’t use ARB and ACEI together
– If > 3 BP meds, refer to HTN specialist
