What will be an ideal response?
Blood pressure is classified into four types:1. Normal blood pressure with <120 mm Hg of systolic and <80 mm Hg of diastolic pressure2. Elevated blood pressure with 120 to 129 mm Hg of systolic and <80 mm Hg of diastolic pressure3. Stage 1 blood pressure with 130 to 139 mm Hg of systolic and 80 to 89 mm Hg of diastolic pressure4. Stage 2 blood pressure with ?140 mm Hg of systolic and ?90 mm Hg of diastolic pressure Major cardiovascular disease risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, microalbuminuria, eGFR <60 mL/min, increased age, and a family history of CVD. Identifiable causes of secondary hypertension include obstructive sleep apnea, drug-induced states, chronic kidney disease, primary aldosteronism, renovascular disease, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, coarctation of the aorta, and thyroid disease.
