Classification of Blood Pressure *

* For adults age 18 and older who are not taking antihypertensive drugs and not acutely ill. When systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should be

selected to classify the individual's blood pressure status. In addition to classifying stages of hypertension on the basis of average blood pressure levels, clinicians should specify presence or

absence of target organ disease and additional risk factors.1 Optimal blood pressure with respect to cardiovascular risk is below 120/88 m Hg. However, unusually

low readings should be evaluated for clinical significance.2 Based on the average of two or more readings taken at each of two or more visits after an initial

screening.
