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.
Blood Pressure Treatment Targets. The ACC/AHA guideline recommends treatment to a BP target of <130/80 mm Hg for many patients. The ESH guidelines recommend BP treatment targets that differ on the basis of age.
The 2021 WHO hypertension guidelines aim to provide the most current and relevant evidence-based guidance for pharmacological treatment of hypertension in nonpregnant adults, with a particular focus on practice in middle- and low-income countries.
Key Points for Practice. • 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. •...
In accordance with most major guidelines it is recommended that hypertension be diagnosed when a person’s systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the office or clinic is ≥140 mm Hg and/or their diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is ≥90 mm Hg following repeated examination (see below, Section 3).
Key Recommendations. Treat adults who have hypertension to a standard blood pressure target (less than 140/90 mm Hg) to reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (strong...
