Hypertension affects a large portion of the United States' population and is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events. A variety of treatment guidelines exist including the American Diabetes Association, European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology and the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure guidelines. The following is a summary of these guidelines regarding the effective treatment of hypertension.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension based on the Thai Guideline on the Treatment of Hypertension 2012, the 7th report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC7) and its recently released version, 8th Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC8).Material and Method: We screened 1,311 hypertensive patients who visited the Primary Care Unit at Songklanagarind Hospital from October to December 2013. The outcome of this cross-sectional study was the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension based on the Thai Guideline on the Treatment of Hypertension 2012, JNC7 and JNC8.Results: The study included a total of 1,181 patients. The prevalences of uncontrolled hypertension were 57.2%, 53.4% and 30.0%, based on the Thai guidelines, JNC7 and JNC8, respectively.Conclusion: The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in our setting remained unsatisfactory.

Ende 2013 erschien die lang erwartete Leitlinie des achten US-amerikanischen Joint National Committee (JNC8). In dieser wurden neun konkrete Empfehlungen zur Behandlung der arteriellen Hypertonie erarbeitet. Insbesondere die Harmonisierung der Grenz- und Zielblutdruckwerte stellt eine Vereinfachung für den praktizierenden Mediziner dar. Die Empfehlungen blieben jedoch nicht ohne Kontroverse. Besonders die Erhöhung des Zielblutdrucks auf Werte von unter 150/90 mmHg bei Patienten gleich oder älter 60 Jahre wurde kritisiert. In diesem Punkt und auch der Frage der geeigneten Antihypertensiva zeigen sich Unterschiede zur aktuellen Leitlinie der European Society of Cardiology und European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH 2013). Dieser Artikel versucht die verschiedenen Standpunkte darzulegen und so einen Überblick über den wachsenden Bereich der Hypertonie-Leitlinien zu liefern.
