cbrsmurf Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 OK, major things I have noticed 1) Beta-blockers are no longer recommended first-line 2) Low-salt diet is not mentioned at all 3) Many of the 130/80 goals have been eliminated 4) Treat >60 y/o above 150/90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treejay Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 If I remember correctly, thiazides were first line in JNC7. Now they seem to give equal weight to ACE/ARB/CCB/thiazides for first line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
