©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Cardiovascular risk increased with high-normal BP Cumulative incidence of cardiovascular events over time in 6859 men and women in the Framingham Heart Study who were initially free of hypertension or cardiovascular disease. The patients were put into one of three BP categories: optimal blood pressure (BP ≤120/≤80), normal BP (120 to 129/80 to 84), and high-normal BP (130 to 139/85 to 89 mmHg). If the systolic and diastolic pressures were discordant, the higher of the two categories was used. High-normal BP, compared to optimal BP, was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio for cardiovascular disease of 1.6 in men and 2.5 in women. Data from Vasan RS, Larson MG, Leip EP, et al.
