Drug Therapy: Consideration
ACE inhibitors and ARBs are contraindicated in
pregnancy and caution is required in prescribing to
women of child bearing potential.
Use caution in initiating therapy with 2 drugs where

agressive blood pressure lowering is more likely or
more poorly tolerated (e.g. those with postural
hypotension).
Diuretic-induced hypokalemia should be avoided

through the use of potassium sparing agent if
required.

Monitor creatinine and potassium when combining K
sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors and/or ARBs.
If Dihydropyridine CCB Chosen: Not to be used without
ACEi or ARB agents.
If a diuretic is not used as first or second line therapy,
triple drug therapy should include a diuretic, when not
contraindicated.
Short-acting dihydropyridine calcium antagonists should
not be used in IHD because of their potential to increase
risk of mortality, particularly in the setting of acute
myocardial infarction

Beta Blockers
– BBs less appealing as first-line agents for treatment of hypertension
in patients with either type 2 or type 1 diabetes mellitus (grade A).
– BBs, however, have proved effective in the management of the

ischemic and congestive cardiomyopathies that are more common
in patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes.
– Because the major adverse effects of BBs may be mediated by

peripheral vasoconstriction and increasing insulin resistance, the
use of the new third-generation BBs (such as Nebivolol) or drugs
that block both a and b receptors (such as Carvedilol) may prove to
be particularly beneficial (grade A).
– These agents cause vasodilatation and an increase in insulin

sensitivity.
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist, 2006

Beta Blockers (cont.)
– Two drug combinations of beta blockers, ACE inhibitors
and ARBs have not been proven to have additive
hypotensive effects.
– Therefore these potential two drug combinations should

not be used unless there is a compelling (non blood
pressure lowering) indication such as ischemic heart
disease, post myocardial infarction, congestive heart
failure or chronic kidney disease with proteinuria.
– It is not recommended to combine a non dihydropyridine

CCB and a beta blocker to reduce the risk of bradycardia
or heart block.

If Diuretic Chosen: (Preferred if no other
compelling indications):
– Creatinine <1.8 mg/dL  Thiazide Diuretic
– Creatinine ≥1.8 mg/dL  Loop Diuretic
– Max. dose 25mg Hydrochlorothiazide or

For Pts. With Microalbuminuria or Proteinuria
In Type 2 patients: ACE-i or ARBs as a

first line.
In Type 1 patients: ACE-I is recommended
to reduce protein excretion
Consider the use of verapamil or diltiazem
in patients with proteinuria unable to
tolerate ACEi or ARBs.
BB is a potent antiproteinuric.
First-line agents include ACE inhibitors, ARBs, ß-
blockers, or diuretics. Additional drugs may be chosen
from these classes or another drug class.
In hypertensive patients with microalbuminuria or clinical

albuminuria, an ACE inhibitor or an ARB should be
strongly considered. If one class is not tolerated, the
other should be substituted.
In patients over age 55 years with hypertension or

another cardiovascular risk factor (history of
cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, microalbuminuria,
or smoking), an ACE inhibitor (if not contraindicated)
should be considered to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular events.
In patients with a recent myocardial infarction, ß-
blockers, in addition, should be considered to
reduce mortality.
If ACE inhibitors or ARBs are used, monitor

renal function and serum potassium levels.
In elderly hypertensive patients, blood pressure

should be lowered gradually to avoid
complications.

ACE-I + HCTZ: Excellent 1st line agent
• Increased HTN control

• Reduced hypokalemia
• Cardioprotective
• Available as a generic medication
• Increased adherence

ACE-I Cough
Consider continuing the ACE-I:
• 38-55% Likelihood the cough will resolve.
• Consider changing the time of administration or lowering the dose
• Consider antitussives or lozenges while waiting for symptom to
resolve.
Consider switching to a 2nd ACE-I:

• Effective for 1 in 10 patients
Consider using a different drug class:

• Diuretic, beta-blocker or calcium channel blocker
• If an ACE-I is indicated because of comorbid conditions (e.g. DM,HF,
CKD) an ARB (i.e. LOSARTAN) can be used as an alternative

ACE-I or ARBs and Hyperkalemia
 ACE-I or ARBs may cause
Hyperkalemia:
1. Avoid other medications that cause
hyperkalemia (K suppl, NSAIDs, Cox2
inhibitors, K sparing diuretics).
2. Evaluate causes of hyperkalemia.
3. Treat hyperkalemia with diuretics.
4. Continuo ACE-I or ARBs if K < 5.5 mmol/l.
 Monitor GFR
1. If GFR >30% within 4 weeks, evaluate.
2. Continuo ACE-I or ARBs if GFR < 30% from
baseline over 4 months.
