The specific blood pressure goals are: Systolic Pressure <140; Diastolic Pressure <90; So, a blood pressure of 138/87 would be considered within goal range but 138/91 would not. Goals for Complicated Patients. Complicated patients require treatment of both high blood pressure and other existing diseases.
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the inner walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps blood to all parts of the body. The upper reading, known as the systolic pressure, measures that force as the heart contracts and pushes blood out of its chambers. The lower reading, known as diastolic pressure, measures that force as the heart relaxes between contractions. Adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80. The recommendations are based on clinical evidence showing that stricter guidelines provided no additional benefit to patients, explained guidelines author Dr. Paul James, head of the department of family medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine.
