(For diabetes or renal disease sufferers : blood pressure greater than 130/80 despite taking three or more medications)or Blood pressure controlled, less than 140/90 (or less than 130/80 for those with diabetes or renal disease), on four or more antihypertensive medications in order to keep blood pressure at goal.
