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]

• Inflammation

  Abdominal obesity and inflammation predicts hypertension among prehypertensive men and women: the ATTICA Study. Heart Vessels 2008;23(2):96–103. [ PubMed ] 27. De Marco M, de Simone G, Roman MJ, Chinali M, Lee ET, Russell M, et al. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  […] attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. [15] [16] One study found that a prehypertensive person is more than three times more likely to have a heart attack and 1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal [en.wikipedia.org]

• Falling

  In most developing countries and in the urban areas of many countries, one in five to one in three adults fall in the category of prehypertension. [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]

• Underweight

  The students were classified as underweight, normal, overweight, and obese as per the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) Classification for BMI in Asian adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Heart Disease

  Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Anything you can do to help control these risk factors will pay off in reducing your risk of a heart attack or stroke. It might also help slow the effects of chronic kidney disease. [kidney.org]

  Diseased arteries will not only participate in propagation of end organ damage but will enhance the progression of additional damage in the arteries and the heart. [secardiologia.es]

  Relation of blood pressure components and categories and all-cause, stroke and coronary heart disease mortality in urban Chinese women: a population-based prospective study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Heart Failure

  […] attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. [15] [16] One study found that a prehypertensive person is more than three times more likely to have a heart attack and 1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal [en.wikipedia.org]

  Therefore it could be speculated that systolic prehypertensive heart works more than normal heart and if neglected may eventually lead to heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Stroke

  Stroke. 2005; 36 (9):1859–1863. [ PubMed ] [ Google Scholar ] 24. Lewington S, Clarke R, Qizilbash N, Peto R, Collins R. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It points to a higher risk of having heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. Doctors have known for a long time that blood pressure that is too high can cause these problems. [kidney.org]

• Dizziness

  Only extremely elevated blood pressure ( malignant hypertension ) can, in rare cases, cause headaches, visual changes, fatigue, or dizziness, but these are nonspecific symptoms which can occur with many other conditions. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Headache

  Only extremely elevated blood pressure ( malignant hypertension ) can, in rare cases, cause headaches, visual changes, fatigue, or dizziness, but these are nonspecific symptoms which can occur with many other conditions. [en.wikipedia.org]

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]

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]

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]
