Overview

In 2004, the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC 7) classified blood pressure values into 4 categories: normal, prehypertension, stage I hypertension, and stage II hypertension.[1] In 2007, the Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) classified blood pressure into 7 categories.[2] This classification remained unchanged in the 2013 ESH/ESC classification.[3] The ESH/ESC classification excludes JNC 7’s pre-hypertension category, but includes 3 different grades of hypertension in contrast to JNC 7’s two-stage classification of hypertension.

Classification

JNC 7 Classification of Blood Pressure

According to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure[4] blood pressure values were classified as follows:

Blood Pressure Classification Systolic (mm Hg) Diastolic (mm Hg)
Normal < 120 and < 80
Pre-Hypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 Hypertension >160 or >100

ESH/ESC Classification of Blood Pressure

In Europe, a different classification of blood pressure was introduced in 2007 by The Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). According to the 2013 Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension, blood pressure values were classified as follows: [2]

Blood Pressure Classification Systolic (mm Hg) Diastolic (mm Hg)
Optimal < 120 and < 80
Normal 120-129 and/or 80-84
High Normal 130-139 and/or 85-89
Grade 1 Hypertension 140-159 and/or 90-99
Grade 2 Hypertension 160-179 and/or 100-109
Grade 3 Hypertension ≥ 180 and/or ≥110
Isolated Systolic Hypertension ≥140 and <90
