ABSTRACT
Prehypertension is considered a precursor of stage 1 hypertension and a predictor of excessive cardiovascular risk. The trial of preventing hypertension [TROPHY] was an investigator-initiated study to examine whether early treatment of prehypertension, defined for this study as systolic blood pressure of 130 to 139 mmHg and diastolic pressure blood pressure of 89 mmHg or lower and systolic pressure of 139 mmHg or lower, might prevent or delay the development of subsequent incident hypertension. The primary objective of the present study was to determine whether in patients with prehypertension six months of treatment with an angiotensin II, type I receptor antagonist [at a dose of 8mg once a day] reduces the incidence of hypertension in borderline patients
