# [[Blood pressure]] control according to JNC 7 guidelines is recommended (i.e., [[blood pressure]] <140/90 mmHg or <130/80 mmHg if the patient has [[diabetes mellitus]] or [[chronic kidney disease]]). (Level of Evidence: A) Additional measures recommended to treat and control blood pressure include the following:
::a. Patients should initiate and/or maintain lifestyle modifications, including weight control, increased physical activity, alcohol moderation, sodium reduction, and emphasis on increased consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. (Level of Evidence: B)
::b. For patients with [[blood pressure]] ≥140/90 mmHg (or ≥130/80 mmHg for individuals with [[chronic kidney disease]] or [[diabetes mellitus]]), it is useful to add [[blood pressure]] medication as tolerated, treating initially with [[beta blocker]]s and/or [[ACE inhibitor]]s, with addition of other drugs such as [[thiazide]]s as needed to achieve target blood pressure. (Level of Evidence: A)}}
