Sumario:The landscape for hypertension guideline development and dissemination has changed. The intense debate surrounding the recent JNC 8 publication obscures the value this guideline offers to providers managing hypertension.

The purpose of this commentary is to pare down what the JNC 8 publication is and what is not, so as to transcend the controversy and foster application of these guidelines to clinical practice.
