Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Automated blood pressure monitoring in people with atrial fibrillation: Which automated blood pressure monitors are suitable for people with hypertension and atrial fibrillation? Thresholds for interventions in adults aged under 40: In adults aged under 40 with hypertension (with or without type 2 diabetes), what are the appropriate risk and blood pressure thresholds for starting treatment? Blood pressure targets for people aged over 80: What is the optimum blood pressure target for people aged over 80 with treated primary hypertension (with or without cardiovascular disease)? Step 1 treatment: Are there subgroups of people with hypertension who should start on dual therapy? Relaxation therapies: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of relaxation therapies for managing primary hypertension in adults in terms of reducing cardiovascular events and improving quality of life? Same-day hospital specialist assessment: Which people with extreme hypertension (220/120 mmHg or higher) or emergency symptoms should be referred for same-day hospital specialist assessment? Blood pressure targets for people with aortic aneurysm: What are the optimal blood pressure targets in adults with hypertension and aortic aneurysm, and does this vary by age? Blood pressure targets for people with prior ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke: What are the optimal blood pressure targets in adults with prior ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, and does this vary by age?
