Abstract
According to The Seventh Report published in 2003 by the Joint National Committee ( JNC 7), patients with systolic blood pressure of 120-139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89 mmHg are diagnosed with prehypertension. Prehypertension defined in different terms in different guidelines. Prehypertension often coexists with comorbidities such as ischemic heart disease, stroke and diabetes Early detection of hypertension, which is an important public health problem, is very important in both economically developing and developed countries. That's why we wrote this article to draw attention to prehypertension. *Correspondence to: Hüsnü Değirmenci, Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University, Erzincan, Turkey, E-mail: husnudr1982@gmail.com
期刊介绍:
Primary Health Care Research & Development is aimed specifically at both researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging the gap between the two areas. It provides a forum for the publication of international, interdisciplinary research and development in primary health care. It is essential reading for all involved in primary care: nurse practitioners, GPs and health service managers; professional and local groups in community health; researchers and academics; purchasers of primary health care services; allied health practitioners in secondary services and health-related consumer groups.
