Blood pressure (BP) values can be classified in two ways, ie, either based on the relationship between BP and cardiovascular risk, or on threshold values at which antihypertensive drugs are indicated for blood-pressure lowering, as shown by randomized outcome trials. As there are substantial differences between the two classifications, this can be confusing, especially for the patient. Current hypertension guidelines do not entirely clarify this.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) values can be classified in two ways, ie, either based on the relationship between BP and cardiovascular risk, or on threshold values at which antihypertensive drugs are indicated for blood-pressure lowering, as shown by randomized outcome trials. As there are substantial differences between the two classifications, this can be confusing, especially for the patient. Current hypertension guidelines do not entirely clarify this.
