Prehypertension (systolic blood pressure 120-139 or diastolic blood pressure 80-89 mm Hg) confers a risk of progression to hypertension, impairment of cognitive function, increased left ventricular mass, risk of end-stage renal disease, and an association with arteriosclerosis. Recent studies provide data that could support the rationale for treating prehypertensives subjects with antihypertensive medications in addition to lifestyle modification, especially if they have concomitant cardiovascular risk factors.

高血压是真实的，可能与靶器官损害有关。

高血压前期（收缩压120-139或舒张压80-89 mm Hg）具有发展为高血压，认知功能受损，左心室质量增加，终末期肾脏疾病的风险以及与动脉硬化相关的风险。最近的研究提供了数据，这些数据除了可以改善生活方式之外，尤其是在具有心血管危险因素的情况下，还可以支持使用降压药治疗高血压前期受试者的理论依据。
