Abstract. This article reports further analyses of the
Hypertension Optimal Treatment (HOT) Study data with the aim to describe
(1) the value of baseline serum creatinine and its clearance
(estimated by Cockroft and Gault formula) as predictors of cardiovascular
events, (2) the effects of intensive lowering of BP on cardiovascular
events and renal function in patients with reduced renal function, and
(3) the effects on cardiovascular events of adding acetylsalicylic
acid to antihypertensive therapy in patients with reduced renal function. The
results show that (1) baseline elevation in serum creatinine and a
reduction in estimated creatinine clearance are powerful predictors of
cardiovascular events and death. (2) Reduced renal function at
baseline did not preclude the desired control of BP. In contrast to patients
with normal renal function, the incidence of major cardiovascular events did
not differ in the three groups of patients with mild renal insufficiency
randomized to different diastolic BP targets. No significant changes in serum
creatinine were seen at the end of the 3.8-yr treatment period in the great
majority of patients. However, there was a small group of patients (0.58% of
the total study population) whose renal function deteriorated (increase
30% over baseline and final serum creatinine concentration
2 mg/dl)
despite satisfactory reduction of diastolic BP. (3) The results of
this reanalysis of the HOT Study suggest though do not prove that the
association of acetylsalicylic acid with intensive antihypertensive therapy
offers additional benefit in hypertensive patients with reduced renal
function.
