Overview

The Joint National Committee seventh report (JNC 7) defines hypertension as a systolic blood pressure of over 140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg based upon the average of two or more properly measured readings at each of two or more visits after an initial screen[1]. The Systematic Review of Guidelines on Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in 2010 noted two hypertension screening guidelines for adults published by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and American Heart Association (AHA).[2]

Screening

The age to start screening for hypertension differs according to different authorities:

  • Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7)[3]
  • American Heart Association (AHA)[4]: 20 years
  • American Academy of Family Physicians[5]: 18 years
  • American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)[6]: 13 years


The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) [2] and JNC 7 [7] recommendations for hypertension screening are as follows:

  • Screening is recommended every 2 years if the blood pressure < 120/80 mmHg
  • Screening is recommended yearly if initial blood pressure screening revealed JNC 7’s pre-hypertension stage: the systolic blood pressure is between 120 139 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure is between 80 and 99 mmHg.
  • Confirmation of BP values within 2 months is required if initial blood pressure revealed JNC 7’s stage 1 hypertension.
  • Evaluation or referral to source of care within 1 month if initial blood pressure revealed JNC 7’s stage 2 hypertension.
  • Evaluation and treatment immediately or within 1 week if initial blood pressure revealed JNC 7’s stage 2 hypertension with blood pressure > 180/110 mmHg. Clinical situation and complications are to be taken into major consideration.
  • Treatment may be initiated immediately at lower blood pressure values in specific populations, such as those known to have diabetes mellitus.
