THURSDAY, April 29, 2021 (HealthDay News) If making healthy lifestyle changes doesn t lower a patient s slightly high blood pressure within six months, doctors should then consider prescribing medication, a new American Heart Association scientific statement advises.
The recommendation is for people with untreated stage 1 high blood pressure (130-139/80-89 mm Hg) who have a low risk of a heart attack or stroke within 10 years. Low risk means less than 10%.
The statement updates the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Blood Pressure Management Guidelines, which suggested first having these people make healthy lifestyle changes and then checking their blood pressure again in six months.
