Hypertension

The diagnostic criteria for hypertension are found in blood pressure readings.
When measured at a medical institution, hypertension is diagnosed when the upper blood pressure is 140 mmHg or higher and the lower blood pressure is 90 mmHg or higher. When measured at home, hypertension is defined as an upper blood pressure of 135 mmHg or higher and a lower blood pressure of 85 mmHg or higher. The “Guidelines for the Treatment of Hypertension” provide “antihypertensive goals (how far blood pressure should be lowered in people with high blood pressure)” to prevent cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, based on the results of various studies to date.
