Implication

May support closer monitoring in young stage 1 hypertension; leaves open whether early intervention alters progression.

Structured PICO

Does isolated ambulatory hypertension increase the risk of progression to sustained hypertension requiring medication in young subjects screened for stage 1 hypertension?

P
Population
871 young, never-treated subjects screened for stage 1 hypertension
I
Intervention
Isolated ambulatory hypertension (low clinic blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg but elevated ambulatory blood pressure after 3 months of observation)
C
Comparator
Nonhypertensive subjects (low clinic blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg and low ambulatory blood pressure after 3 months of observation)
O
Outcome
Progression to more severe hypertension and need of antihypertensive medicationcomposite

In young subjects initially presenting with stage 1 hypertension, isolated ambulatory hypertension after 3 months of observation is a significant predictor for developing sustained hypertension requiring treatment.
