Abstract
The Joint National Committee Report on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC) has been in existence for more than three decades with the first report published in 1977. The purpose of this report is to provide an authoritative review and summary of available data from clinical trials that will educate and update healthcare providers on approaches to treatment and cardiovascular risk reduction of appropriate patients. In addition, changes in guidance based on the JNC 8 document recently published are discussed. Please note that the JNC was initially intended to be updated every 4–5 years as data became available that would further solidify or change practice patterns. JNC 8 was published 10 years after JNC 7, so a departure from previous guidelines.
