Presentation
The data on baseline characteristics of 84 subjects studied is presented in [ Table/Fig-2 ]. Continuous variables are presented as mean ± SD. Categorical values are presented as whole number and in percentage in parenthesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment

As such, currently pharmacological treatment is not the answer nor is it feasible. Besides the lack of evidence, the cost of treatment, the biochemical changes and potential adverse events may outweigh the benefits of treatment of prehypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The Conference will aim to deal with all aspects related to early diagnosis, including innovative technologies and treatments as well as discussion of target organ damage, cardiac, renal, neurological and peripheral arteries. [secardiologia.es]
Prognosis
The presence of multiple risk factors changes the prognosis of the patients and should affect our therapeutic approach- an area with insufficient information and guidelines. [secardiologia.es]
Prognosis [ edit ] The extent to which prehypertension constitutes a serious health concern remains controversial. [10] Several long-term studies have suggested no significant increase in all-cause mortality over long periods of time for individuals falling [en.wikipedia.org]

1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal blood pressure. [17] A meta-analysis concluded that prehypertension increases the risk of stroke, and that even low-range prehypertension significantly increases stroke risk. [18] Epidemiology [en.wikipedia.org]

Understanding the risk of borderline conditions in the metabolic syndrome will enable us to understand the nature of end organ damage and will create a possibility of better prevention of this continuous process. [secardiologia.es]
