Abstract

Despite the well known benefits of pharmacolgic treatments in hypertension, available data suggest that rates of treatment and control are suboptimal. Surveys of physicians consistently document that many do not believe in initiating or intensifying antihypertensive therapy when blood pressures are above guideline-recommended thresholds. Furthermore, clinicians tend to overrely on monotherapy and underdose. The main driver of benefit from blood pressure lowering therapy is blood pressure lowering per se, and little evidence exists of additional benefits specific to a class of drug with regard to major cardiovascular outcomes overall. In addition, reports from metaanalysis showed that an individuals with uncomplicated hypertension required between 2 and 4 different antihypertensive agents to reach the goal blood pressure. Thus, the importance of initiating theraphy will decrease relatively if most of the patients with hypertension require two drugs to reach target blood pressure at least. This article provides a descriptive analyse of the problem of systolic hypertension, and an importance of combination treatment in controle of high blood pressure, rationals of succesfull combination theraphy and value of selective alpha-1 adrenoceptor blockers in hypertension treatment.

Özet

Hipertansiyonda farmakolojik tedavinin getirdiği faydalar kesin olarak gösterilmekle birlikte halen ilaç kullanım oranları istenilen seviyelerde değildir ve ilaç kullananlarda bile yeterli seviyede kan basıncı kontrolü sağlanamamaktadır. Hekimlerin çoğunun monoterapiye daha yatkın olduğu ve doz artırımından veya kombinasyon gibi etkin antihipertansif tedavi yaklaşımlarından çekindiği görülmektedir. Antihipertansif tedaviden elde edilen fayda asıl olarak kan basıncındaki düşme ile ilişkilidir, ilaç gruplarının major kardiyovasküler sonlanımlara spesifik etkisi az miktardadır. Yani monoterapi olarak ilaçlar arasında etkinlik farkı bulunmamaktadır. Bununla birlikte birçok geniş randomize kontrollü klinik çalışmada, komplike olmayan yetişkin hipertansiflerin büyük bir çoğunluğunda hedef kan basıncı değerlerine ulaşmak için 2-4 ilaç kullanmak gerektiği gösterilmiştir. Dolayısıyla hastaların büyük çoğunluğunda yeterli kan basıncı kontrolünü sağlamak için en az iki ilaca gereksinim duyuluyorsa tedaviye de hangi ilaçla başlanacağının önemi relatif olarak azalmaktadır. Bu yazıda kan basıncı kontrolünün sağlanmasında kombinasyon tedavisinin önemini, başarılı kombinasyon tedavisinin gereklerini ve selektif alfa-1 adrenerjik reseptör blokerlerinin hipertansiyon tedavisindeki yeri gözden geçirilecektir
