Abstract
in English, French

The present article is a summary of the theme, the key recommendations for management of hypertension and the supporting clinical evidence of the 2010 Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP). In 2010, CHEP emphasizes the need for health care professionals to stay informed about hypertension through automated updates at www.htnupdate.ca. A new interactive Internet-based lecture series will be available in 2010 and a program to train community hypertension leaders will be expanded. Patients can also sign up to receive regular updates in a pilot program at www.myBPsite.ca. In 2010, the new recommendations include consideration for using automated office blood pressure monitors, new targets for dietary sodium for the prevention and treatment of hypertension that are aligned with the national adequate intake values, and recommendations for considering treatment of selected hypertensive patients at high risk with calcium channel blocker/angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor combinations and the use of angiotensin receptor blockers.

Le présent article résume le thème, les principales recommandations du Programme éducatif canadien sur l’hypertension (PÉCH) pour 2010 sur la prise en charge de l’hypertension ainsi que les données cliniques complémentaires. En 2010, le PÉCH souligne la nécessité que les professionnels de la santé se tiennent informés de l’hypertension au moyen de mises à jour automatisées, accessibles à l’adresse www.htnupdate.ca. Une nouvelle série de cyberconférences interactives sera offerte en 2010, et un programme visant à former les chefs de file communautaires de l’hypertension prendra de l’expansion. Les patients peuvent également s’inscrire pour recevoir des mises à jour régulières dans le cadre d’un programme-pilote, à l’adresse www.myBPsite.ca. En 2010, les nouvelles recommandations comprennent des considérations pour utiliser des tensiomètres automatisés en cabinet, de nouvelles cibles de sodium diététique pour la prévention et le traitement de l’hypertension harmonisées avec les valeurs nationales d’apport suffisant et des recommandations pour envisager le traitement de certains patients hypertendus très vulnérables au moyen d’une association d’inhibiteurs calciques et d’inhibiteurs de l’enzyme de conversion de l’angiotensine ainsi que l’utilisation d’antagonistes de l’angiotensine.
