title: [Clinical profiling of a complex, asyntomatic patient beyond the standard assessment of cardiovascular risk].
abstract: The multi-dimensional evaluation of an elderly hypertensive subject, asyntomatic yet complex, evidences the need for a clinical assessment going beyond the limits of the traditional analysis of cardiovascular risk. The case here described provides a reasoned guide for the integration of all risk elements and factors in the global definition of the risk profile of an individual in primary prevention, and only apparently at moderate cardiovascular risk.
