Joint National Committee (JNC) Guidelines

The Joint National Committee (JNC) Guidelines are a set of recommendations for diagnosing and treating high blood pressure, developed by a group of health experts in the U.S. These guidelines help doctors understand how to measure blood pressure accurately, define stages of hypertension, and suggest appropriate treatment options. They aim to improve health outcomes by promoting consistent practices, educating patients, and ultimately reducing the risks of heart disease and stroke. The guidelines are regularly updated to reflect new research and advancements in medicine.
