Key Points of the 2019 Japanese Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension

Abstract: The new 2019 Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) guidelines for the management of hypertension are now available; these update the previous guidelines published in 2014. The primary objective of the guideline is to provide all healthcare professionals with a standard management strategy and appropriate antihypertensive treatments to prevent hypertension-related target organ damage and cardiovascular events. The major changes in the new guideline relate to the definition of normal blood pressure (BP) and tar… Show more

“…The economic impact of stroke and the association between stroke and blood pressure lead to the importance of knowing more about the relationship between stroke and hypertension in Asia. 7 Asian characteristics that differ from the West lead to higher stroke incidence, which is even higher than coronary artery disease in some TA B L E 1 Prevalence of stroke, its risk factors, disability-adjusted life year (DALY), and mortality rate of HOPE Asia Network countries Asian countries. In this paper, we will discuss the epidemiology of stroke in Asia, specifically countries that are members of the HOPE Asia Network, stroke risk factors, and the role of hypertension in stroke incidence in Asia.…”

“…The considerable amount of economic burden makes it very necessary for stroke to be given more attention and for more effective health care planning, especially in the primary and secondary prevention, and early detection of the disease. The economic impact of stroke and the association between stroke and blood pressure lead to the importance of knowing more about the relationship between stroke and hypertension in Asia 7 …”

“…This target is aligned with the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension 2018 guidelines, 31 the 2020 International Society of Hypertension global hypertension practice guidelines 32 and World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 guidelines. 33 Japan 63 and India 64 recommend a lower target of <130/80 mm Hg in younger patients, which is in line with the American College of Cardiologys and American Heart Association 2017 guidelines. 30 Guidelines in Asian countries and Latin America recommend the first-line agents of 5 major drug classes: ACEIs, ARBs, beta-blockers, CCBs, and diuretics, except Japan, Thailand, and India, who do not recommend beta-blockers.…”

“…Blood pressure management in patients on HD requires not only antihypertensive medicines but also other strategies, such as diet therapy, exercise, and adjusting dry weight 26 , 27 . However, hypertension guidelines recommend the concomitant use of antihypertensive agents when the target blood pressure is not achieved 28 , 29 . Additionally, antihypertensive drugs may have other favorable functions beyond lowering blood pressure, such as protecting the cardiovascular system 12 , 30 , 31 .…”
