What is the recommended approach for reducing blood pressure in nonhypertensive individuals with an elevated blood pressure?
Nondrug and lifestyle approaches are recommended as a means of reducing blood pressure in nonhypertensive individuals with an elevated blood pressure (ie, pre-hypertension: 120 to 139 mmHg SBP or 80 to 89 mmHg DBP). Pharmacological treatment of prehypertension appears to reduce the risk of stroke.
