Key result
Early detection and treatment of elevated BP curb life-course atherosclerosis.
Why the study?
Life-course prevention of atherosclerosis focusing on blood pressure requires early detection and implementation of accepted lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to optimize outcomes.
Highlights the need for early detection and life-course management of elevated blood pressure to prevent and regress atherosclerosis.
Supports early BP detection for atherosclerosis prevention; leaves open optimal timing and intensity pending prospective trials.
Life-course prevention of atherosclerosis with a focus on blood pressure requires early detection of elevated blood pressure and arterial damage using advanced arterial imaging. Achieving optimal prevention also depends on implementing patient-, parent-, and physician-accepted lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. If adverse remodelling occurs, regression of atherosclerosis should be pursued using similar strategies, ideally by mid-adulthood—the most sensitive stage for plaque enlargement. BP, blood pressure.
