Section 1: Definition and Classification
of Hypertension
Definition and classification of
hypertension: ESH/ESC 2003
Hypertension is defined as blood pressure 140/90 mmHg
Category Systolic Diastolic
(mmHg) (mmHg)
Optimal <120 <80
When a patients systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different ESH/ESC Guidelines 2003
categories, the higher category should apply J Hypertens 2003;21:1011-1053

Table Lifestyle modifications to manage hypertension *
Weight reduction Maintain normal body weight (body mass 5-20 mmHg/10 kg weight
index 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) loss23-24
Adopt DASH eating plan Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, 8-14 mmHg25-26
and lowfat dairy products with a reduced
content of saturated and total fat
Dietary sodium reduction Reduce dietary sodium intake to no more 2-8 mmHg25-27
than 100 mmol per day (2.4 g sodium or
6 g sodium chloride)
Physical activity Engage in regular aerobic physical 4-9 mmHg26-27
activity such as brisk walking (at least 30
min per day, most days of the week0
Moderation of alcohol Limit consumption to no more than 2 2-4 mmHg30
consumption drinks ( 1 oz or 30 mL ethanol; e.g., 24
oz beer, 10 oz wine, or 3 oz 80-proof
whiskey) per day in most men and to no
more than 1 drink per day in women and
lighter weight persons
- Effectively reduces BP
- Maintains BP control over 24 hours with
once-a-day dosing
- Effective in all hypertensive patients
- No adverse effects
- No negative metabolic side effects
