When a patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different categories,the higher category should apply. Blood pressure is a continuous variable, The definition of hypertension has been arbitrarily set as:That blood pressure above which the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks in term of morbidity and mortality

A diagnosis of high blood pressure should not be based on a single reading,except when it is extremely high-for example, above 170-180/105-110.Otherwise several measurements taken over a period of time are generally needed to confirm a diagnosis. 5

The continuous relationship between the level of blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular events,and arbitrary nature of the definition of hypertension have contributed to the variation in the definitions issued by various national and international authorities. 7
