Both guidelines are comprehensive, were developed using rigorous processes, and underwent extensive peer review. The most notable difference between the 2 guidelines is the blood pressure cut points recommended for the diagnosis of hypertension. There are also differences in the timing and intensity of treatment, with the American College of Cardiology\/American Heart Association guideline recommending a somewhat more intensive approach. Overall, there is substantial concordance in the recommendations provided by the 2 guideline-writing committees, with greater congruity between them than their predecessors. Additional harmonization of future guidelines would help to underscore the commonality of their core recommendations and could serve to catalyze changes in practice that would lead to improved prevention, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, worldwide.","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=36100239&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513","isPdfLink":true,"isSAML":false,"additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Whelton PK, Carey RM, Mancia G, Kreutz R, Bundy JD, Williams B","Journal_Info":"Publisher: Oxford University Press Country of Publication: England NLM ID: 8006263 Publication Model: Print Cited Medium: Internet ISSN: 1522-9645 (Electronic) Linking ISSN: 0195668X NLM ISO Abbreviation: Eur Heart J Subsets: MEDLINE","Publication_Type":"Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't","Published_Date":"2022-09-14","Source":"European heart journal [Eur Heart J] 2022 Sep 14; Vol. 43 (35), pp. 3302-3311.","Languages":"English","Electronic_ISSN":"1522-9645","MeSH_Terms":"Cardiology* , Hypertension*\/diagnosis , Hypertension*\/therapy, American Heart Association ; Blood Pressure ; Humans ; Societies, Medical ; United States","Subjects":"American Heart Association, Blood Pressure, Humans, Societies, Medical, United States, Cardiology, Hypertension diagnosis, Hypertension therapy","Title_Abbreviations":"European heart journal","Volume":"43"},"header":{"DbId":"mdl","DbLabel":"MEDLINE Ultimate","An":"36100239","RelevancyScore":"871","PubType":"Academic Journal","PubTypeId":"academicJournal","PreciseRelevancyScore":"870.950317382813"},"plink":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=mdl&AN=36100239&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","upload_link":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=mdl&AN=36100239&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds"}
