Hypertension management made simple 👇

🟡 Elevated BP (120–129 / <80)
→ Lifestyle modifications

🟠 Stage 1 HTN (130–139 / 80–89)
→ Lifestyle ± 1 medication
→ Start meds if DM, CKD, ASCVD, or risk >10%

🔴 Stage 2 HTN (≥140 / ≥90)
→ Lifestyle + 1–2 medications
→ 2 drugs if ≥20/10 above target

Small changes. Big impact.
Lower BP = Lower CV risk.
