To merit "good article" status, needs to address dipping vs. non-dipping somehow[edit]
dipping vs. non-dipping might be addressed at least in part by a sentence citing this section:
NCBI Conclusion on Hypertension[edit]

Moved[edit]
Needs to be paraphrased and integrated into the existing text. Will work on it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:48, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
"High blood pressure should be treated earlier with lifestyle changes and in some patients with medication – at 130/80 mm Hg rather than 140/90 – based on new American Collage of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for the detection, prevention, management and treatment of high blood pressure." [1]
Blood pressure categories in the new guideline published by Journal of the American College of Cardiology as of Nov 13 2017.
- Normal: Less than 120/80 mm Hg;
- Elevated: Systolic between 120-129 and diastolic less than 80;
- Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 or diastolic between 80-89;
- Stage 2: Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm Hg;
- Hypertensive crisis: Systolic over 180 and/or diastolic over 120, with patients needing prompt changes in medication if there are no other indications of problems, or immediate hospitalization if there are signs of organ damage.[2]

Terminology[edit]
Doc James, why do you think we shouldn't briefly mention the medical terminology (i.e., striae) in addition to stretch marks? TylerDurden8823 (talk) 08:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Most English words have a number of synonyms. Stretch marks and striae are the same. If people want to learn what the synonyms are they can look at the page on the topic.
- It is typically sufficient to just go with the common term IMO. One does not need "shortness of breath (dyspnea)" for example. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:02, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Most readers I know find that helpful (I don't assume that people will utilize the wikilinks we provide), but whatever. Don't feel strongly. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 09:04, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
"Prehypertension", I no longer see this term appear from uptodate, AHA, 2017. There are only elevated BP, Stage 1 and 2 hypertension.Elainr (talk) 20:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Resistant hypertension[edit]
Darrel francis added under "Resistant hypertension":
- [A]nd by urine analysis.[1]
This is a primary research study of 208 patients. I am however aware that this can be useful in a specialised setting, and we mainly need a more robust source in line with WP:MEDRS. doi:10.1042/CS20160407 cites this paper as well as several others. JFW | T@lk 12:47, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
