Bp and organ injury: Your diastolic bp value is at the borderline of stage 1 HTN. Your systolic BP is excellent. Older human trial data correlated diastolic bp with organ risk, and risk begins to escalate at 85-90. What really matters is BP "load". Usual bp values hour by hour day by day. All persons have varying bp. So, achieve ideal wt and BMI, eat low salt, exercise daily. Monitor bp at home - AM & PM.
