Study Notes

Hypertension Management Recommendations and Thresholds

Recommendations for hypertension management and blood pressure thresholds are from NICE and SIGN guidelines.
Patients with a clinic blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher should be offered ambulatory or home blood pressure monitoring to confirm diagnosis and stage of hypertension.
Stage 1 hypertension includes clinic blood pressure ranging from 140/90 mmHg to 159/99 mmHg and requires antihypertensive drug treatment for patients with target-organ damage, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, diabetes, or a 10-year cardiovascular risk ≥10%.
Antihypertensive drug treatment should be considered for patients under 60 years with stage 1 hypertension and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk below 10%.
Patients over 80 years with a clinic blood pressure over 150/90 mmHg should be considered for antihypertensive drug treatment.
For patients under 40 years with stage 1 hypertension, specialist advice for evaluation of secondary causes of hypertension should be considered.
SIGN (2017) recommends antihypertensive drug treatment for patients with sustained clinic blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure over 90 mmHg regardless of age.
Stage 2 hypertension includes clinic blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg or higher but less than 180/120 mmHg and requires treatment for all patients.
Severe hypertension includes clinic systolic blood pressure of 180 mmHg or higher or clinic diastolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg or higher and requires prompt treatment.
Same-day specialist referral is needed for patients with suspected phaeochromocytoma or clinic blood pressure of 180/120 mmHg or higher with signs of retinal haemorrhage or papilloedema.
Cardiovascular risk should be estimated and assessed for all patients with confirmed hypertension using clinic blood pressure measurements.
Clinic blood pressure should be reduced and maintained below 140/90 mmHg for patients under 80 years and below 150/90 mmHg for patients over 80 years. Ambulatory or home blood pressure monitoring should be maintained below 135/85 mmHg for patients under 80 years and below 145/85 mmHg for patients over 80 years.

Severe hypertension includes clinic systolic blood pressure of 180 mmHg or higher or clinic diastolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg or higher and requires prompt treatment.
Same-day specialist referral is needed for patients with suspected phaeochromocytoma or clinic blood pressure of 180/120 mmHg or higher with signs of retinal haemorrhage or papilloedema.
Cardiovascular risk should be estimated and assessed for all patients with confirmed hypertension using clinic blood pressure measurements.
Clinic blood pressure should be reduced and maintained below 140/90 mmHg for patients under 80 years and below 150/90 mmHg for patients over 80 years. Ambulatory or home blood pressure monitoring should be maintained below 135/85 mmHg for patients under 80 years and below 145/85 mmHg for patients over 80 years.
