(1)📌In the general population aged 60 years or more , initiate pharmacologic treatment to lower blood pressure (BP) at systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <150 mm Hg and goal DBP <90 mm Hg
(2)📌In the general population aged ≥60 years, if pharmacologic treatment for high BP results in lower achieved SBP (eg, <140 mm Hg) and treatment is well tolerated and without adverse effects on health or quality of life, treatment does not need to be adjusted.
(3)📌In the general population <60 years, initiate pharmacologic treatment
(a) to lower BP at DBP ≥90mmHg and treat to a goal DBP <90mmHg.
(b) to lower BP at SBP ≥140 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <140 mm Hg.
(4)📌In the population aged ≥18 years with (i) diabetes & (ii) chronic kidney disease (CKD), initiate pharmacologic treatment to lower BP at SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg and treat to goal SBP <140mmHg and goal DBP <90mmHg.
(5)📌In the general nonblack population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide-type diuretic, calcium channel blocker (CCB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
(ACEI), or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).
(6)📌In the general black population, including those with diabetes, initial antihypertensive treatment should include a thiazide-type diuretic or CCB.
(7)📌In the population aged 18 years with CKD, initial (or add-on) antihypertensive treatment should include an ACEI or ARB to improve kidney outcomes. This applies to all CKD patients with hypertension regardless of race
or diabetes status.
(8)📌If goal BP is not reached within a month of treatment, increase the dose of the initial drug or add a second drug from one of the classes : thiazide-type diuretic, CCB,ACEI, or ARB. The clinician should continue to assess BP and adjust the treatment regimen until goal BP is reached.
(9)📌If goal BP cannot be reached with 2 drugs, add and titrate a third drug from the list mentioned above (). Do not use an ACEI and an ARB together in the same patient.
(10)📌If goal BP cannot be reached using only the drugs mentioned above, because of a contraindication or the need to use more than 3 drugs to reach goal BP, antihypertensive drugs from other classes can be used.
