Key result
Perspective explores the link between inflammation, atherosclerosis, and hypertension to urge primary prevention in youth.
Why the study?
The complex relationship between inflammation, atherosclerosis, and arterial hypertension requires analysis, particularly as inflammation is targeted to treat residual cardiovascular risk and recent pandemic-related factors have exacerbated cardiovascular risk.
Highlights the complex interplay between inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and psychosocial factors like depression and stress, emphasizing the need for primary prevention.
Does not support practice changes; hypothesis-generating for youth-focused inflammation and prevention strategies.
This future perspective analyzes the complex relationship between inflammation and atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension. The involvement of inflammation in atherosclerosis has led to research therapies that target inflammation to prevent or treat cardiovascular disease. This aspect has recently been included in the treatment management of residual cardiovascular risk. The recent pandemic has exacerbated cardiovascular risk both through an increase in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and through the reduction of cardiovascular screening. What actions to take? Primary prevention campaigns for healthy subjects with specific attention to young people.
