1. HTN is defined as As SBP > 130mmHg or DBP > 80mmHg
2. How many BP readings are required to Diagnosis should be based on BP readings
diagnoses HTN over one to two weeks
3. HTN treatment goal is To reduce cardiovascular and renal morbidity
and mortality
4. The usual form of HTN is Primary or essential
5. Elevated SBP presents a Greater risk for complications than elevated
DBP for people older than 50 y/o
6. For all ages, HTN related deaths result Largely from cerebral hemorrhage, renal fail-
ure, heart failure and MI
7. Four BP categories Normal SBP <120 and DBP < 80
Elevated SBP 120-129 or DBP > 80
Stage 1 SBP > 130-139 or DBP 80-89
Stage 2 SBP => 140 or DBP => 90
