Types list: The list of types of Hypertension mentioned in various sources includes:
Primary Hypertension - the main type with no underlying cause
Secondary Hypertension - where it is caused by some other underlying condition; much less common than primary hypertension.
Hypertension subtypes based on ranges:
Optimal Blood Pressure - systolic < 120 mmHg and diastolic < 80 mmHg.
Normal Blood Pressure - systolic < 130 mmHg and diastolic < 85 mmHg.
High-Normal Blood Pressure - systolic 130-139 mmHg or diastolic 85-89 mmHg.
Hypertension Stage 1 - systolic 140-159 mmHg or diastolic < mmHg.
Hypertension Stage 2 - systolic 160-179 mmHg or diastolic 90-99 mmHg.
Hypertension Stage 3 - systolic >= 180 mmHg or diastolic >= 110 mmHg.
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) - high systolic pressure only.
Hypertension during pregnancy:
Gestational hypertension - early stages of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Preeclampsia - severe high blood pressure during pregnancy; about 5% of pregnancies.
Eclampsia - very severe pregnancy hypertension leading to seizures.
Pulmonary hypertension - hypertension occurring in the heart-lung arteries.
Malignant hypertension - occurring in younger adults than the normal profile for essential hypertension
