In fact, there is not even agreement as to what constitutes hypertension. Part of the confusion about the various clinical aspects of hypertension undoubtedly stems from the different criteria used in defining hypertension. Among the numerous criteria used, two sets of blood pressures appear to be of most importance. The criteria used by most insurance companies, namely, 140/90 mm. of Hg for the upper limits...Bibliography1. Fishberg AM: Differential diagnosis of high blood pressure, M. Clin.
