Study Notes

Hypertension and Elevated Blood Pressure

Hypertension (HTN) is defined by JNC8 as:

Hypertension Classification

Stage 1 hypertension: SBP 130-139 mmHg or DBP 80-89 mmHg
Stage 2 hypertension: SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg

Treatment Guidelines

2017 ACC/AHA/AAPA/ABC/ACPM/AGS/APhA/ASH/ASPC/NMA/PCNA guideline for prevention, detection, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure in adults
Goals for blood pressure control:
- <130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or cardiovascular disease
- <140/90 mmHg for patients without these conditions

Medication Classes

ACE inhibitors (ACE)
Angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARB)
ß-blockers (BB)
Calcium channel blockers (CC)

Lifestyle Modifications

Home blood pressure monitoring (BPM)
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
Avoiding nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
