Yet, pressure in this range, if un treated, can still result in the complications associated with high blood pressure: heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. In fact, the risk of many heart problems and early death for people with so called mild high blood pressure is more than twice that for those with readings below 90 mm Hg. Fortunately, however, re cent studies show that treat ment can make a big dif ference in reducing early death and illness for people in this group. It can also prevent pressures in this range from going to even higher levels where a patient’s chances of developing serious complica tions are even greater. One study, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Hypertension Detection and Follow-Up Program (HDFP), recently reported specifically on the effects of treatment on stroke. “Mild” high blood pressure patients treated systematically in special HDFP centers had 31.8 per cent fewer fatal and non-fatal strokes than touKq gram who received routine care im their communities. such as the Australian National Blood Pressure Study and the U.S. Public Health Service Study of Mild Hypertension also show major benefits for ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ * y - li *' SSHH’M 4* j ON YOUR I SPRING CLEANING ML \ A service that will be appreciated by all lovers of fxJrQ'. { clean, sanitary floor coverings can now be had at a tmMt { price everyone can afford.

Treatment for pressure in this category often involves dietary changes such as los ing weight and cutting down on sodium. Until the recent studies, most of the medical com muinity had not been treating “mild” high blood pressure, because the benefits of treat ment had not been clearly established. In 1980, the Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure revised earlier na tional recommendations to in clude treating pressures in this range. The committee also suggested a new term for diastolic levels between 90 and 104 mm Hg, stratum I, because they believed that the word “mild” was inap propriate way to describe a serious condition. The new recommendations mean that high blood pressure patients, as well as the health profes sionals who treat them, need to pay careful attention to blood pressure elevations at any level.
