Zusammenfassung

Im Juni 2013 wurden die neuen European Society of Hypertension (ESH)/European Society of Cardiology (ESC)-Leitlinien zum Management der arteriellen Hypertonie publiziert. Die Deutsche Hochdruckliga e.V. DHL®/Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hypertonie und Prävention und die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie (DGK) haben sich erstmalig entschlossen, diese Leitlinien in Form praxisnaher Pocketleitlinien gemeinsam zu übersetzen. Die DHL/DGK-Pocketleitlinien sind eine genaue Übersetzung der ESH/ESC-Pocketleitlinien. Mit dem vorliegenden Kommentar, möchten wir über bedeutende Änderungen der neuen Leitlinien gegenüber den vorpublizierten Versionen informieren. Zusätzlich werden unter Berücksichtigung nationaler Rahmenbedingungen und der Bewertung durch DHL/DGK-Expertenkommissionen einzelne kontroverse ESH/ESC-Empfehlungen diskutiert. Insbesondere werden die Bedeutung der Blutdruckmessung außerhalb der Praxis, neue Zielblutdruckwerte, Änderungen in der medikamentösen Therapie und das Vorgehen bei therapieresistenter Hypertonie besprochen. Abschließend werden die Limitationen der aktuellen Leitlinien diskutiert.

Abstract

In June 2013 the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension were published. For the first time the German Hypertension League (DHL®), German Society of Hypertension and Prevention, and the German Society of Cardiology (DGK) decided to translate these guidelines as clinical practice pocket guidelines in a collaborative manner. The DHL/DGK pocket guidelines represent an exact translation of the ESH/ESC pocket guidelines. With the present comments we want to inform clinicians about important changes in the new guidelines. In consideration of the national regulatory environment, and after evaluation by DHL/DGK expert panels, selected controversial ESH/ESC recommendations will be discussed. In particular, the importance of out-of-office blood pressure measurements, new blood pressure targets, changes in antihypertensive drug therapy, and new approaches in resistant hypertension will be reviewed. Finally, the limitations of the current guidelines will be discussed.
