    Long-term cumulative blood pressure exposure is linked to increased left ventricular mass and impaired myocardial strain, impacting cardiovascular risk assessment.

  • 2

    Folate deficiency is associated with a higher risk of hypertension, suggesting that maintaining adequate folate levels may aid in hypertension prevention.

  • 3

    Dietary flavan-3-ols can modestly reduce blood pressure and improve endothelial function, supporting their use in hypertension prevention strategies.

  • 4

    A central systolic blood pressure threshold of 135 mmHg may enhance cardiovascular risk prediction, though its clinical application remains uncertain.

  • 5

    High-normal serum sodium and tonicity levels are linked to increased risks of hypertension and heart failure, indicating potential early markers for cardiovascular risk.
