Aim. To assess compliance with Joint National Committee 7 (JNC 7) guidelines and evaluate target blood pressure (BP) goals among patients with hypertension. Results. Basic laboratory workup, was completed on 75% of patients, and 71% received smoking cessation counseling. Overall BP goal achievement was 45.6%; it was 27.6% and 21.1% among diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, respectively. An average of 2.6 antihypertensive medications were prescribed per patient, with beta-blockers being the most frequently used, followed by thiazide diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIS). ACEIS or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) were not prescribed for 16% of diabetics, 26% of chronic renal failure patients, or 41% of those with history of stroke. Among heart failure patients, 24.1% were not on ACEI or ARBs, and 20.7% were not receiving beta-blockers. Conclusions. Certain aspects of JNC 7 are not well incorporated into clinical practice, especially among patients with coexisting diabetes and/or CKD.
