%X high blood pressure is a risk factor where diagnosis is made by means of a simple numerical variable although it was confirmed that it is a multifactorial syndrome producing systemic alterations, complications and death. its definition has changed with time and a great knowledge. it is important correct measurement of arterial pressure, to know its variability, and its physiopathology where genetic theory of rennin-angiotensin aldosterone system has shows to be the predominant one. classification and stratification of cardiovascular risk are significant elements when we make a careful medical record of patient, and joined with lab examinations allows us to rule out and to treat the causes of a secondary hbp. in present study all factors are analyzed and pre-hypertension stage is discussed.
