Answer:

A diastolic blood pressure reading of 110 mmHg or higher indicates high blood pressure —hypertension— stage 2 (option B)

Explanation:

High blood pressure, called hypertension, is a chronic condition that is due to increased pressure in the artery walls as a result of their hardening. The disease is due to multiple risk factors and involves a serious risk for heart and cerebrovascular disease.

The blood pressure reading has two measurements:

  • <em>Systolic blood pressure, with a normal value of 100 to 120 mmHg. </em>
  • <em>Diastolic blood pressure, with a normal value of 60 to 80 mmHg</em>

Based on the diastolic blood pressure, hypertension can be classified as

  1. Pre-hypertension: 80 a 89 mmHg
  2. Hypertension stage 1: 90 a 99 mmHg
  3. Hypertension stage 2: 100 mmHg or higher

Some classifications still use stage 3 of hypertension and hypertensive crisis within this group.
