The ACC/AHA defines normal blood pressure as a systolic blood pressure less than 120 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure less than 80 mmHg, stage 1 hypertension is a systolic blood pressure 130- 139 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of 80-89 mmHg, and stage II hypertension as a systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 or a diastolic blood [Show More]
