The 2020 ISH Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines were developed by the ISH Hypertension Guidelines Committee based on evidence criteria, (1) to be used globally; (2) to be fit for application in low and high resource settings by advis-ing on essential and optimal standards; and (3) to be concise, simplified, and easy to use. The recommended classification is unchanged from the 2003 and 2007 ESH/ESC guidelines . Hypertension is defined as values >140 mmHg SBP and/or >90 mmHg DBP, based on the evidence from RCTs that in patients with these BP values treatment-induced BP reductions are beneficial (see Sections 4.1 and 4.2).

The new aspects of the 2013 guidelines on hypertension of the These practice guidelines on the management of arterial hypertension are a concise summary of the more exten-sive ones prepared by a Task Force jointly appointed by the European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology. These guidelines have been prepared on the basis of the best available evidence on all issues deserving "2015 ESC/ERS Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
