Treatment options for prehypertension

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2007
Prehypertension is a recognized stage of blood pressure but treatment standards have not yet been established. This review will focus on the treatment considerations in prehypertension.Previous approaches to prehypertensive blood pressure have focused on the role of nonpharmacologic modalities alone.

Risk factors for prehypertension in the community: A prospective analysis from the Western New York Health Study

Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2014
Prehypertension is an increasingly highly prevalent condition in the general population, and is associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.

Hemodynamics of Prehypertension

2018
Hemodynamic investigations in prehypertensive people have revealed that already at this early stage of hypertension, total peripheral resistance is increased. This is true even in situations where cardiac output is elevated. Heart rate and arterial stiffness are clearly higher as well in prehypertensives as compared to normotensives.

Endothelial Changes in Individuals with Prehypertension

Current Hypertension Reviews, 2016
Prehypertension is considered a precursor of systemic arterial hypertension and a predictor of morbidity-mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, which are the main causes of death in Brazil and the world. Thus, early diagnosis and the adoption of therapeutic measures in cases of prehypertension can reduce cardiovascular risk.

Prehypertension: Defining the Transitional Phenotype

Current Hypertension Reports, 2015
More than a simple "transitional stage" defined by covenanted cut points of systolic pressure from 120 to 139 mm of mercury (mm Hg) or a diastolic pressure from 80 to 89 mm Hg, prehypertension should be referred to as a categorical term that defines a specific phenotype in the progression from the "absence of disease" to clinically overt disease.

Heart and Prehypertension

2018
Asymptomatic alterations of the cardiovascular system reflect intermediate stages in the disease continuum linking risk factors such as high blood pressure (BP), hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, obesity, and smoking to cardiovascular fatal and nonfatal events.

Prehypertension and the risk of stroke

Neurology, 2014
In this meta-analysis, we sought to evaluate the association between prehypertension and the risk of stroke.We searched PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies with data on prehypertension and stroke. Two independent reviewers assessed the reports and extracted data.

Prehypertension: Detection, evaluation, and management

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Prehypertension was defined as a discrete category in 1993. There is evidence to support active management of this entity given the increased risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and stroke. There have been few comprehensive summaries on the management of this population.

The Role of the Brain in Neurogenic Prehypertension

2018
The association between blood pressure (BP) levels and increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events is a continuum. The negative impact of elevated BP on patient outcomes is evident in the prehypertensive state which includes both subjects with normal (120–129/80–84 mmHg) and high-normal (130–139/85–89 mmHg) BP.

Tachycardia in Prehypertension

2018
Prehypertension is a heterogeneous condition, and the cardiovascular risk differs in relation to many clinical variables, such as age, blood pressure level, and associated risk factors. Among these, resting heart rate has emerged as a novel cardiovascular risk factor.
