, 2013 Slightly elevated blood pressure is known as prehypertension. Prehypertension will likely turn into high bloodpressure (hypertension) . Both prehypertension and high blood pressure increase risk of heart attack, stroke and heartfailure.

Prehypertension - time to act.
Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia, 2012 The term "prehypertension" defined as systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 mmHg and/or diastolic pressures between 80 and 89 mmHg has now gained general acceptance. Prehypertension is associated with ~3-fold greater likelihood of developing hypertension, and roughly twice the number of cardiovascular events, than BP < 120/80 mmHg.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Prehypertension
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2011 Blood pressure within prehypertensive levels confers higher cardiovascular risk. As prehypertension is also an intermediate stage for full hypertension, a precocious intervention with lifestyle changes or drugs is therefore appealing. Endothelial injury and dysfunction are thought to contribute to cardiovascular risk in prehypertension.

Treatment of prehypertension: lifestyle and/or medication
Vascular Health and Risk Management, 2012 Prehypertension is a warning to individuals with resting blood pressures between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg of an insidious progression of blood pressure towards hypertensive levels (≥ 140/90 mmHg). Prehypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and end organ damage compared with individuals who are normotensive.

Is It Time to Treat Prehypertension? [PDF]
Hypertension Research, 2008 Prehypertension, defined as blood pressure between 120-139/80-89 mmHg, is a major public health concern. The condition is very prevalent (30% of the adult population), is often associated with other cardiovascular risk factors and independently increases the risk of hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular events.

Management of Prehypertension [PDF]
Hypertension, 2005 A 58-year-old woman is evaluated by her primary care physician, her gynecologist, or at employee health. On 2 separate occasions, duplicate seated blood pressure (BP) measurements average 132/84 mm Hg. She is informed that she has “prehypertension.” At her last check-up in 2002, she had a similar reading but was told she had normal BP. The BP category

Prehypertension and Cardiovascular Morbidity [PDF]
The Annals of Family Medicine, 2005 The Seventh Report of the Joint National Commission (JNC 7) on High Blood Pressure established prehypertension (120 to 139 mm Hg systolic or 80 to 89 mm Hg diastolic) as a new risk category. We aim to determine the risk of major cardiovascular events associated with blood pressure in the prehypertensive range in a longitudinal, population-based cohort ...

Do Clinicians Tell Patients They Have Prehypertension? [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: the clinical utility of the prehypertension label is questionable. We sought to estimate how often patients with prehypertension are being told about it by their primary care clinicians. METHODS: we conducted a cross-sectional study of adult
