Therapeutic recommendations have been developed from the results of these trials. The threshold for treatment comes from the recognition of benefit being related to absolute risk for patients with isolated systolic pressure > 160 mm Hg or combined systolic/diastolic hypertension with a pressure > 160/100 mm Hg. The treatment goal is a normal pressure < 140/90 mm Hg without adverse effects. Low-dose diuretic therapy is recommended as initial treatment along with non-drug measures.
