Recommendations
1 A
1. In adults with hypertension, improved BP control is
recommended to reduce the risk for OH.
2a A
2. In adults receiving intensive BP-lowering therapy with
asymptomatic OH, treatment with a goal of SBP <130 mm Hg
is reasonable due to increased CVD and mortality benefit.
2a B-R
3. In adults with hypertension initiating treatment or adding
medication with a goal of SBP <130 mm Hg, assessment
for symptomatic OH is reasonable to detect other chronic
conditions.
