Abstract

Marginal blood pressure elevation at youth is widely prevalent. Clinically such patients represent a dilemma, since they are at highest risk to develop hypertension and its sequelae, but the risk is not sufficiently strong to mandate antihypertensive medication. The decision as to whether to treat will depend on the presence of other risk factors for hypertension. Multiple and complex pathophysiologic abnormalities have been described in borderline hypertension. A better understanding of the relationship of some of these abnormalities to the development of hypertension is needed.
