Blood pressure treatment targets
Age | Clinic BP (mm Hg) | ABPM or HBPM day time average (mm Hg) |
---|---|---|
18–79 years | <140/90 | <135/85 |
≥80 years | <150/90 | <140/85 |
Blood pressure treatment should be titrated to clinic BP. Equivalent BP targets for ABPM or HBPM are shown for patients using these measurement techniques to monitor their BP control.
ABPM, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; BP, blood pressure; HBPM, home blood pressure monitoring.
