RESUMO
Screening for precursors and objective evidence for hypertension was done in an inner city family planning clinic. Prior history of high blood pressure occurred in 4 of 41 young black females (10%) and pressures greater than 124/80 mmHg occurred in 2 of 41 (5%). A family history of heart disease occurred in 7 of 41 (17%), of high blood pressure in first degree relatives in 17 of 29 (60%), of death due to high blood pressure in 12 of 41 (29%). Family history may be more predictive of future events than objective data in this age/sex cohort.
