Major medical organizations have released updated guidelines for preventing and managing high blood pressure, emphasizing earlier treatment and lifestyle changes to reduce risks of heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline.

The 2025 guidelines from the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology replace the previous 2017 recommendations and reflect significant advances in understanding how blood pressure affects both heart and brain health.

Nearly half of American adults — 46.7% — have high blood pressure, defined as readings of 130/80 mm Hg or higher. The condition remains the leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the top cause of death in the United States.

"High blood pressure is the most common and most modifiable risk factor for heart disease," said Dr. Daniel W. Jones, chair of the guideline writing committee and dean emeritus of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine. "By addressing individual risks earlier and offering more tailored strategies across the lifespan, the 2025 guideline aims to aid clinicians in helping more people manage their blood pressure."
