American Heart Association
(AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) published the new guidelines
related to high blood pressure. According to this guidelines, high blood
pressure should be cured before lifestyle changes and some diseased patients
with drug therapy at 130/80 mm Hg in place of 140/90 mm Hg. These guidelines
published regarding the detection, management treatment and prevention of high
blood pressure.
Leading American Heart Association experts issued new guidelines for High blood
pressure that means tens of millions more will meet the criteria for the
condition, and will need to change their life styles or takes medication
therapy to treat it.
Under the guidelines, formulated by the American Heart Association (AHA) and
the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the number of men under age 45 with a
diagnosis of high blood pressure will triple, and the prevalence among women
under the age 45 will double. Dr. Robert M Carey who is the co-chair of the
committee that wrote the new guidelines said "Those numbers are
scary".
The number of adults with high blood pressure, or hypertension, in the US will
rise to 103 million from 72 million under the previous standard. But the number
of new candidates for drug treatment will rise only by an estimated 4.2
million.
Now, high blood pressure will be defined as 130/80 milimeters of mercury or
greater for anyone with a significant risk of heart attack or stroke. Recent
research indicates this is true even among older people for whom intensive
treatment had been thought too risky.
