CLINICAL STATEMENTS AND GUIDELINES

CVD (MI, stroke, and HF), which is especially relevant as trials evaluating antihypertensive therapies and BP thresh­ olds have focused on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) as the primary outcome. The PCEs are applica­ ble to adults aged 40 to 79 years who are not on statin therapy. In contrast, PREVENT is applicable to adults aged 30 to 79 years and includes statin therapy as a predictor, making it more broadly applicable to guide preventive de­ cisions regarding antihypertensive therapy. PREVENT in­ corporates measures of kidney function, as chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important end-organ manifestation of hypertension and is associated with higher CVD risk. PRE­ VENT includes the integration of place-based social risk (social deprivation index [SDI]), as the burden of hyperten­ sion is higher among those who reside in neighborhoods with higher deprivation. As a result of these changes, model performance for PREVENT is superior to PCEs. In a contemporary sample of 3.3 million US adults, PCEs over­ predicted risk by 2-fold while PREVENT had excellent calibration, even when examined by race and ethnic group. Taken together, the writing committee recommends the use of PREVENT to estimate 10-year risk for CVD for adults with hypertension without clinical CVD in determining the BP threshold for initiation of therapies (Section 5.2.1, “Ini­ tiation of Pharmacological BP Treatment in the Context of Overall CVD Risk”) and the BP goal for treatment (Section 5.2.7, “BP Goal for Patients With Hypertension”). In developing this guideline, the writing committee reviewed previously published guidelines and related sci­ entific statements. Table 2 contains a list of AHA/ACC publications deemed pertinent to this writing effort and is intended for use as a resource.

1.5 Class of Recommendations and Level of

Evidence

The Class of Recommendation (COR) indicates the strength of recommendation, encompassing the estimat­ ed magnitude and certainty of benefit in proportion to risk. The Level of Evidence (LOE) rates the quality of sci­ entific evidence supporting the intervention on the basis of the type, quantity, and consistency of data from clinical trials and other sources (Table 3).28
