ABSTRACT

Introduction:The antecedent of arterial prehypertension in hypertensive young people are considered as a possible vascular risk factor. Objectives: To compare hypertensive young adults who had prehypertension in adolescence with other group of hypertensive people without any kind of antecedents at San Antonio de los Baños, Havana in the period 2003-2008 taking into consideration the following: Tensional levels/carotida intimamedia thickness (IMTc), left ventricular hypertrophy (HIV), overweight, retinopathy grade levels and needs of antihypertensive drugs for ages.
Patients and Methods: It was carried out a study cases and controls of 90 prehypertensive patients (group A) Being compared to 90 not prehypertensive patients (group B).
Results: The larger part of patients with IMTc belonged to group A playing hypertension a decisive factor. Overweight prevailed in group A with a 57,7 % where HIV reached a 58,8 %. Concerning retinopathy affections there was also a prevalence in group A with 70% of the patients. of this group there was a 46,6% of patients who needed more than one drug to control hypertension being a 35,5% under 25 years old.
Conclusions: The presence of arterial hypertension in adolescence marks earlier the Prognosis, evolution and therapeutic answer in hypertensive young Adulthood and they are a future marker for risk of illnesses.
