Arterial stiffness and biochemical profiles in prehypertensive, normotensive, and controlled hypertensive individuals: a cross-sectional study
Prehypertensive individuals exhibited higher peripheral and central blood pressures compared to normotensive individuals but lower levels than controlled hypertensive patients during all three periods (24-h, wake, and sleep). These findings suggest that functional and structural alterations predisposing individuals to hypertension are already present in the prehypertensive stage.
