Classification and Diagnosis - Define normal BP, elevated BP, Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension. - Explain hypertensive urgency and emergency. - Include BP targets for: - General adults - Elderly patients - Diabetes mellitus - Chronic kidney disease - Coronary artery disease - Stroke/TIA - Heart failure 2. Initial Evaluation - Baseline history, examination, and investigations before starting treatment. - Assessment of cardiovascular risk factors and target-organ damage. 3. Stepwise Drug Selection Algorithm - Provide a clear step-by-step treatment approach from first-line therapy to resistant hypertension. - Mention when to start: - Lifestyle modification alone - Single-drug therapy - Two-drug combination therapy - Three-drug therapy - Resistant hypertension management - Present the algorithm in both flowchart format and table format. 4. Drug Class-wise Detailed Discussion For each antihypertensive class: - Mechanism of action - Common drugs available in India - Adult dosage range - Advantages - Major side effects - Serious adverse effects - Absolute contraindications - Relative contraindications - Drug interactions - Monitoring requirements Include: - ACE inhibitors - ARBs - Calcium channel blockers (DHP and non-DHP) - Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics - Loop diuretics - Beta blockers - Alpha blockers - Central alpha agonists (clonidine, methyldopa) - Vasodilators (hydralazine, minoxidil) - Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists - Newer antihypertensive agents if applicable 5. Disease-Specific Antihypertensive Selection Create separate tables showing preferred, acceptable, and contraindicated drugs for: - Diabetes mellitus - Diabetic nephropathy - CKD with proteinuria - CKD without proteinuria - Heart failure with reduced EF - Heart failure with preserved EF - Ischemic heart disease - Stable angina - Post-MI patients - Atrial fibrillation - Tachyarrhythmias - Bradycardia - Stroke prevention - Previous stroke/TIA - Peripheral arterial disease - Aortic aneurysm - Elderly patients - Obesity - Metabolic syndrome - COPD - Asthma - Pregnancy - Lactation - Benign prostatic hyperplasia - Gout - Liver disease - Renal artery stenosis 6. Special Situations - Hypertension in pregnancy - Hypertensive emergency - Hypertensive urgency - Resistant hypertension - White-coat hypertension - Masked hypertension 7. Contraindication Tables Create easy-to-read tables showing: - Disease → Drugs to avoid - Drug → Absolute contraindications - Drug → Relative contraindications 8. Side Effect Tables Create comparison tables listing: - Common side effects - Serious side effects - Frequency where known - Management of side effects 9. Practical Indian Prescription Guide - Most commonly used Indian brands and generic names. - Cost-effective first-line choices. - Typical OPD prescribing patterns in India. - Monitoring schedules and follow-up intervals. 10. Clinical Case Scenarios Provide at least 20 practical cases with: - Patient profile - BP reading - Comorbidities - Drug selection reasoning - Dose titration - Follow-up plan 11. Summary Section - One-page quick reference table. - Drug selection cheat sheet. - Examination and viva questions for MBBS/MD students. Format: - Use headings and subheadings. - Use detailed tables. - Use flowcharts and algorithms. - Highlight “Preferred Drug”, “Avoid”, “Contraindicated”, and “Monitoring Required”. - Ensure recommendations are aligned primarily with current Indian hypertension management practices. - Cite guideline sources and year of publication wherever recommendations are made.
