a classification of BP based on office BP measure-ment, Table 2 provides ambulatory and home BP values used to define hypertension; these definitions apply to all adults (>18 year old). These BP cate-gories are designed to align therapeutic approaches with BP levels. • High-normal BP is intended to identify individuals
Elevated inpatient BP can be broadly categorized into 2 groups: asymptomatic elevated BP and elevated BP with signs of new or worsening target-organ dam-age, also known as hypertensive emergency.
New blood pressure targets and treatment recommendations: For years, hypertension was classified as a blood pressure (BP) reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher, but the updated guideline classifies hypertension as a BP reading of 130/80 mm Hg or higher.
Two well-performed simulation studies demonstrate a highly positive population impact of following the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline recommendations for lowering BP in hypertensive persons compared to older guidelines.
The ACC and AHA convened this writing committee to address the prevention, detection, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure in adults. The first comprehensive guideline for detection,
