High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is consistently too high. High blood pressure is also called hypertension. Is your blood pressure in a healthy range? The best way to know is to get it checked. Using your most recent blood pressure measurement, what is your systolic (upper) number?

2020年5月6日 · 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.

Hypertensive emergency involves acute target-organ damage and should be treated swiftly, usually with intravenous antihypertensive medications, in a closely monitored setting. However, the risk-benefit ratio of initiating or intensifying antihypertensive medications for asymptomatic elevated inpatient BP is less clear.

2025年2月27日 · The ACC and AHA sponsor the development and publication of clinical practice guidelines without commercial support, and members volunteer their time to the writing and review efforts. Guidelines are official policy of the ACC and AHA. For some guidelines, the ACC and AHA collaborate with other organizations.

The 2017 ACC/AHA BP Guideline recommends a systolic BP treatment goal of <130 mm Hg for non-institutionalized ambulatory free-living older adults (≥65 y of age) and an individualized team-based approach, based on clinical judgement and patient preference, for those with higher burden of comorbidity and limited life expectancy.

La presión arterial es la fuerza de la sangre contra las paredes de las arterias. Se mide en milímetros de mercurio (mm Hg). La presión arterial se expresa en dos números, como por ejemplo 112/78 mm Hg. El número superior, llamado …

2025年2月3日 · Both guidelines recommend a lower BP target (<130/80 mm Hg) for adults at high risk to reduce the risk of CV events. Key differences include a lower diagnostic threshold by ACC/AHA criteria (<130/80 mm Hg) than by ESH criteria (<140/90 mm Hg) and age-based treatment targets (ESH criteria).

2024年8月30日 · ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines aim to present all the relevant evidence to help physicians weigh the benefits and risks of a particular diagnostic or therapeutic procedure for the management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension. They should be essential in everyday clinical decision making.

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.

Discover the latest in hypertension research and foster lasting relationships with researchers and clinicians across multiple fields and at every stage of their careers. This year’s opening session will highlight the new hypertension guidelines slated to be released in summer of 2025 followed by an in-depth panel discussion.
