Descriptor prehipertensión
Entry term(s) pre-hipertensión
Scope note: Valores de la presión sanguínea entre la normotensión y la hipertensión. Los individuos con prehipertensión se hallan en situación de mayor riesgo de sufrir enfermedades cardiovasculares. Por lo general, se define la prehipertensión como una PRESIÓN SISTÓLICA de 131-139, y-o una PRESIÓN DIASTÓLICA de 81-89 cuando los valores óptimos son 120-80 mmHg. En el caso de la diabetes y otras enfermedades metabólicas la prehipertensión se sitúa aproximadamente entre 110-129 y 70-79 mmHg.

Scope note: Blood pressure levels that are between normotension and hypertension. Individuals with prehypertension are at a higher risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. Generally, prehypertension is defined as SYSTOLIC PRESSURE of 131-139 mm Hg and/or DIASTOLIC PRESSURE of 81-89 when the optimal is 120/80 mm Hg. For diabetics and other metabolism diseases the prehypertension is around 110-129/70-79 mm Hg.
