Advantages of Multiple-mechanism
Therapy: Efficacy
Multiple-mechanism therapy results in a greater BP reduction than seen
with its single-mechanism components1,2
• Components with a different mechanism of action
interact on complementary pathways of BP control1
• Each component can potentially neutralize counterregulatory mechanisms, e.g.
– Diuretics reduce plasma volume, which in turn stimulates
the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and thus increases BP;
addition of a RAS blocker attenuates this effect1,2
• Multiple-mechanism therapy may result in BP
reductions that are additive2

Recommendations for Multiple-mechanism
Therapy: What the Treatment Guidelines Say
• JNC VII1
– “Most patients with hypertension will require two or more
antihypertensive agents to achieve their BP goals”
– “When BP is more than 20 mmHg above systolic goal or 10
mmHg above diastolic goal, consideration should be given
to initiate therapy with 2 drugs, either as separate
prescriptions or in fixed-dose combinations”
• ESHESC2
– “To reach target blood pressures, it is likely that a large
proportion of patients will require therapy with more than
one agent”

Calcium Channel Blockers
Mechanism of Action of Amlodipine
• Amlodipine inhibits the transmembrane influx of
calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac
muscle
– Inhibition is selective, with a greater effect on vascular
smooth muscle cells
• It binds to both dihydropyridine and
nondihydropyridine binding sites
• Amlodipine is also a peripheral arterial vasodilator
– Acts directly on vascular smooth muscle to cause a
reduction in peripheral vascular resistance and a reduction
in BP

CONCLUSION
• 1. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and
angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are associated with
favorable effects on renal function and may improve
insulin sensitivity, making them ideal first choices in
treatment for patients with both diabetes and
hypertension
©2007 AACE. All rights reserved.
• 2. Combination therapy is generally required to achieve
the stricter BP goals set for most patients with diabetes
mellitus: systolic BP below 130 mmHg and diastolic BP
below 80 mmHg (≤120/75 in the presence of significant
proteinuria).
• 3. In addition to lifestyle modification, the use of an
ACEI or ARB in combination with a low-dose diuretic,
CCB, and/or third generation BB currently appears to be
the preferred starting regimen for patients with diabetes.
• 4. AACE recommends an early aggressive approach in
the management of hypertension as part of overall risk
factor reduction
©2007 AACE. All rights reserved.
5. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) .
• have been associated with several benefits as a potent
antihypertensive treatment for diabetics to reach the
target.
• Nondihydropyridine type (i.e., diltiazem, verapamil) may
reduce microalbuminuria to an extent comparable to the
ACEIs .
• Although not considered optimal agents for first-line or
monotherapy in patients with diabetes, have all proven
safe and effective in combination regimens with ACEIs,
diuretics, and/or BBs
