+2025 AHA/ACC hypertension guidelines reaffirmed ≥130/80 mmHg threshold and endorsed DASH dietary patterns as primary lifestyle intervention, but contain no structural guidance for food-insecure patients. The guideline prescribes DASH diet implementation without addressing the food access barriers that the 57-study SDOH review identified as independent predictors of hypertension non-control. This creates a clinical guideline-SDOH gap where best-practice dietary advice is disconnected from food environment reality.

 The systematic review establishes that the binding constraints are SDOH-mediated: housing instability affects treatment adherence, transportation barriers prevent care access, food insecurity directly increases hypertension prevalence, and insurance gaps reduce BP control. The review endorses CMS's HRSN screening tool (housing, food, transportation, utilities, safety) as a necessary hypertension care component.

+2025 AHA/ACC guidelines maintained aggressive <130/80 mmHg treatment targets and encouraged <120/80 mmHg achievement, expanding the treated population substantially. The guideline's emphasis on DASH dietary patterns as first-line intervention validates food-as-medicine approaches clinically, but the absence of food access infrastructure guidance means the expanded treatment population faces the same behavioral/SDOH barriers that produce the current 23% control rate.

 WHY ARCHIVED: Establishes the clinical reference point — what the guideline says is best practice for hypertension — against which the food-as-medicine evidence and SDOH gap can be measured.
 
 EXTRACTION HINT: This is a landmark guideline, not a study. The extractable claim is the tension: "2025 hypertension guidelines recommend DASH dietary patterns as primary lifestyle intervention but contain no structural guidance for food-insecure patients who lack DASH-accessible food environments." Medium priority for extraction — the guideline content itself is background; the gap is the claim.
