Borderline hypertension is defined as mildly elevated blood pressure greater than 140/90 mm Hg at some times and less at other times. As is the case with white coat hypertension, patients with borderline hypertension have their blood pressure several times, and organ damage assessed to determine whether their hypertension is important.









People with hypertension may be the limit as they get older, they tend to develop more sustainable growth or increased blood pressure. They have a slightly increased risk of cardiovascular-related (heart) disease. Thus, even if blood pressure does not seem significant, people are beginning to limit the blood pressure must be continuous monitoring of blood pressure monitoring and complications of hypertension.

If during the supervision of a patient with mild hypertension, blood pressure is consistently higher than 140/90 mm Hg, anti hypertensive medication is usually started. Even if the diastolic pressure remains at a borderline level (usually less than 90 mm Hg, but consistently above 85) treatment can be initiated in certain circumstances.
