2020年5月6日 · Resistant hypertension is defined as seated office BP >140/90 mm Hg in a patient treated with three or more antihypertensive medications at optimal (or maximally tolerated) doses including a diuretic and after excluding pseudoresistance (poor BP measurement technique, white coat effect, nonadherence and suboptimal choices in antihypertensive ...

To align with its mission to reduce the global burden of raised blood pressure (BP), the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) has developed worldwide practice guidelines for the management of hypertension in adults, aged 18 years and older.

2021年6月15日 · • Use an average threshold of 140/90 mm Hg for office diagnosis of hypertension, but 135/85 mm Hg for home and 130/80 mm Hg for 24-hour ambulatory monitoring. • Initial assessment in a patient...

The 2023 ESH guidelines maintain the same BP grade classifications as the 2018 ESC/ESH guidelines. 6 The ESH recommends a threshold of >140/90 mm Hg (grade 1) for the diagnosis of hypertension, whereas the ACC/AHA guideline recommends a …

2019年8月14日 · The degree of hypertension (grades 1–3) determines the initiation of treatment and the individual cardiovascular risk of the patient. Table 1 depicts the grades according to BP levels. Table 1. Staging of hypertension according to blood pressure levels, and cardiovascular risk factors by the SCORE system. CV risk is illustrated for middle ...

2014年10月1日 · In the general population of adults 60 years and older, pharmacologic treatment should be initiated when the systolic pressure is 150 mm Hg or higher, or when the diastolic pressure is 90 mm Hg or...

2019年3月28日 · The latest European guidelines 3 retain the previous definition of hypertension (ie, BP >140/90 mm Hg) whereas the American guidelines 4 lowered the threshold to define hypertension to <130/80 mm Hg (Tables 1 and 2). The American guidelines (proposing new definition of hypertension) are driven largely by meta-analyses of important outcome ...

2023年7月20日 · The current definition of hypertension (HTN) is systolic blood pressure (SBP) values of 130 mm Hg or more and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of more than 80 mm Hg. Hypertension ranks among the most common chronic medical condition characterized by a persistent elevation in arterial pressure.

Blood pressure is now recognized as a biomarker for hypertension, and a distinction is made between the various stages of hypertension and global cardiovascular risk. This paper discusses the logic underlying the refinements in the definition of hypertension.

Hypertension Diagnosis, Grading and Management. Initiation of blood pressure-lowering treatment (lifestyle changes and medication) at different initial office blood pressure levels. Use home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and/or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24h ABPM) whenever possible. Abbreviations: BP = blood pressure;
