Isolated systolic hypertension in young adults is associated with an increased long-term risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity compared to normotension, though evidence for pharmacological treatment remains limited.
The paper outlines the standard definition of isolated systolic hypertension as established by the International Society of Hypertension.
May prompt earlier consideration in young adults; leaves open prospective validation before informing thresholds or management.
