    1. A22
    2. B10
    3. Csedentary
  2. 2Stage one (mild) hypertension: a clinic BP measurement of ≥[blank_start]140/90[blank_end] mmHg, or an average daytime ambulatory BP of ≥[blank_start]135/85[blank_end] mmHg.
    Stage two (moderate) hypertension: a clinic BP of ≥[blank_start]160/100[blank_end] mmHg, or an average daytime ambulatory BP of ≥[blank_start]150/95[blank_end] mmHg.
    Severe hypertension: a systolic pressure of ≥[blank_start]180[blank_end] mmHg, or a diastolic pressure of ≥[blank_start]110[blank_end] mmHg.
    1. A140/90
    2. B135/85
    3. C160/100

    In diabetics: ACEI is first line as it’s [blank_start]reno-protective[blank_end].
    In IHD or AF patients: include a beta-blocker early as it's [blank_start]cardio-protective[blank_end]
    In HF patients: include a [blank_start]low[blank_end] dose beta-blocker
    Check [blank_start]adherence[blank_end] and [blank_start]adverse[blank_end] effects at each step.
    1. AACEI
    2. BARB or CCB
    3. CCCB
    4. Dthiazide diuretic
