The existing blood pressure classification guidelines established by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH) lack specified lower limits for the “Normal” category. This paper underscores the imperative need for revisiting these guidelines to incorporate defined lower limits for the “Normal” classification. The absence of such lower limits hinders the precision of clinical practice and undermines the comprehensive assessment of blood pressure in individuals. By advocating for the inclusion of lower limits, this paper aims to enhance the accuracy of blood pressure categorization, thereby providing clinicians with more nuanced guidance and fostering improved cardiovascular health outcomes.
