Overview
In 2004, the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC 7) classified blood pressure values into 4 categories: normal, prehypertension, stage I hypertension, and stage II hypertension.[1] In 2007, the Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) classified blood pressure into 7 categories.[2] This classification remained unchanged in the 2013 ESH/ESC classification.[3] The ESH/ESC classification excludes JNC 7’s pre-hypertension category, but includes 3 different grades of hypertension in contrast to JNC 7’s two-stage classification of hypertension.
Classification
JNC 7 Classification of Blood Pressure
According to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure[4] blood pressure values were classified as follows:
| Blood Pressure Classification | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) | |
| Normal | < 120 | and | < 80 |
| Pre-Hypertension | 120-139 | or | 80-89 |
| Stage 1 Hypertension | 140-159 | or | 90-99 |
| Stage 2 Hypertension | >160 | or | >100 |
ESH/ESC Classification of Blood Pressure
In Europe, a different classification of blood pressure was introduced in 2007 by The Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). According to the 2013 Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension, blood pressure values were classified as follows: [2]
| Blood Pressure Classification | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) | |
| Optimal | < 120 | and | < 80 |
| Normal | 120-129 | and/or | 80-84 |
| High Normal | 130-139 | and/or | 85-89 |
| Grade 1 Hypertension | 140-159 | and/or | 90-99 |
| Grade 2 Hypertension | 160-179 | and/or | 100-109 |
| Grade 3 Hypertension | ≥ 180 | and/or | ≥110 |
| Isolated Systolic Hypertension | ≥140 | and | <90 |
