[Borderline arterial hypertension in young adults: contribution of paraclinical investigations].
The comparison of 106 young adults with borderline hypertension to 85 controls allow to specify the contribution of paraclinic investigations in the diagnosis. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reveal the lack of lability of borderline hypertensives and cannot find predictive index of subsequent established hypertension. Results of exercise testing disclose correlation only with overweight. It is the same for increased left ventricular mass assessed by echography. Pulse wave velocity measurement display early arterial modifications.
