A single systolic hypertension reading raises mortality risk in middle-aged adults, indicating need for treatment consideration.

This research examines the relationship between single hypertensive measurements and cardiovascular disease risk.
Prospective cohort analysis of adults aged 45-64 from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.
Participants had three seated blood pressure measurements taken and followed for cardiovascular events and mortality.
Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were utilized to determine associations of hypertension measurements with outcomes.
A single systolic blood pressure reading over 130 mmHg was linked to heightened risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
In participants with hypertension defined by the average of three measurements, 7.9% had only one elevated measurement.
A greater number of hypertensive measurements correlated with increased risk of cardiovascular events.
