    The document discusses guidelines for hypertension management according to the JNC 8 2014 report. It defines four categories of blood pressure: normal, prehypertension, stage I hypertension, and stage II hypertension. Normal blood pressure is defined as systolic below 120 mm Hg and diastolic below 80 mm Hg. Prehypertension is systolic of 120-139 mm Hg or diastolic of 80-89 mm Hg. Stage I hypertension is systolic of 140-159 mm Hg or diastolic of 90-99 mm Hg. Stage II hypertension is systolic of 160 mm Hg or higher or diastolic of 100 mm Hg or higher.

    DEFINITIONS OF HYPERTENSION

    In the JNC 7 guidelines, the 7 categories of blood pres-


    sure defined in JNC 6 were simplified and reduced to 4
    categories :

    • Normal blood pressure: SBP 􏰀 < 120 mm Hg and


    diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 80 mm Hg
    • Prehypertension: These are patients on the cusp of
    developing hypertension. It is defined as a SBP of
    120-139 mm Hg or a DBP of 80-89 mm Hg
    • Stage I hypertension: SBP 140-159 mm Hg or DBP
    90-99 mm Hg
    • Stage II hypertension: SBP 􏰀 160 mm Hg or DBP
    􏰀 100
    mm Hg
