- clinic = 140-90 - 159/99
- ambulatory = 135/85 - 149/94
what is stage 2 of hypertension
- clinic = 160/100 - 180/120
- ambulatory = >150/95
what is stage 3 of hypertension

all pt
what is stage 3 of hypertension known as
hypotensive crisis = medical emergency
tx of hypertension pt < 55yr + pt with TY2D
1) ACEi/ARB
2) ACEi/ARB + CBB or TLD
3) ACEi/ARB + CCB + TLD
4) k+ < 4.5mmol/l = low dose spironolactone
k+ > 4.5mmol/l = a/bblocker
if pt has type 2 diabetes and afro-caribbean what is preferred ACEi or ARB
ARB
tx of hypertension > 55yr and pt = afro-caribbean origin
1) CCB
2) CBB + ACEi/ARB or TLD
3) ACEi/ARB + CCB + TLD
