In reviewing MKSAP 16 in preparation for an American Board of Internal Medicine recertification examination, Dr. Melissa Gennarelli, an internist at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College, asked Dr. Wilbert S. Aronow, a Professor of Cardiology at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College, 2 questions. The first question was why he currently recommends that diabetics with hypertension should have their systolic blood pressure reduced to u003c 140 mm Hg when MKSAP 16 (page 29 of Cardiovascular Medicine) recommends a systolic blood pressure goal of u003c 130 mm Hg. The second question was why he does not use dronedarone to treat high-risk patients with permanent atrial fibrillation when MKSAP 16 (page 52 of Cardiovascular Medicine) recommends the use of dronedarone in patients with atrial fibrillation to reduce hospitalization for cardiovascular events or mortality.In reply to the first question, Dr. Aronow stated that on the basis of clinical trial data, the 2009 European Society of Hypertension guidelines [1], the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association 2011 expert consensus document on hypertension in the elderly [2], and an excellent review article on this topic [3] recommend a systolic blood pressure goal of u003c140 mm Hg in diabetics with hypertension. The 2013 American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend a systolic blood pressure goal of u003c 140 mm Hg in most diabetics with hypertension [4].In reply to the second question, Dr. Aronow stated that the Permanent Atrial Fibrillation Outcome Study Using Dronedarone on Top of Standard Therapy (PALLAS) randomized 3,236 patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and risk factors for major vascular events to treatment with dronedarone or double-blind placebo [5]. This study was stopped for safety reasons with a median follow-up of 3.5 months because dronedarone increased the rates of heart failure, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation at risk for major vascular events [5].
