Not the norm for blood pressure greater are considered "space" 120 over 80, today it is 130 to 80 mm Hg. Art. These are the figures were presented in Munich at the annual conference of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) as "ideal" for the man. Then the data were immediately published in the authoritative medical among European Heart Journal World.
ESC's previous recommendations on the subject, supported by the ESH (European Society of Hypertension treatment), dated 2013 The updated guidelines also for treatment of hypertension was fixed a number of important changes, including those related to rules of AD.
Thus, in the process previously doctors hypertensive therapy recommended to reduce the pressure of patients using the formulations only 90 to 140 mm Hg Now the upper normal limits will be considered above 130/80. Thus it is necessary to ensure that those who are younger than 65 years, the "upper" or systolic AD was in the range from 120 to 129 mmHg, and for older people - 130-139 mm. Moreover, these same indicators are also relevant for very elderly patients, centenarians eighty age threshold, provided that they carry is well chosen hypertonic treatment. Physicians should by all means to achieve the specified performance. This is highlighted in the latest edition of the therapeutic management.
Separately should be said about the "lower" (or otherwise diastolic) pressure. Its provisions also touched updates. If before the doctors reduced the hypertensive lower numbers to 90, now the patient should be treated for as long as the indicator will not appear at 80 mm Hg This is despite the degree of risk and comorbidities, the patients' history.
With the new regulations AD from European colleagues were not according to the American doctors. Back in 2017, they published their own recommendations to the treatment of hypertension in patients older than 60 years and stick them to the present.
Interesting fact! According to the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), to reduce pressure in elderly hypertensive patients to be much more "loyal" to 150 mm Hg in order to avoid a stroke, as well as various cardiovascular events in patients.
These Americans are confirmed by research in the field of aggressive control of AD. The results there are very contradictory, and therefore, the ideal from the point of view of Europeans pressure indicators at all are not that perfect, and certainly can not be the norm for everyone.
