Description
Lin-Hong Shi and co-authors show that borderline blood pressure already endangers inflamed joints' owners. Their 2024 cohort study follows four hundred thirty-seven patients with axial spondyloarthritis, a spinal arthritis, sorting them by average blood pressure over their first two years of care.
Over a median twelve years, heart and vessel events struck the borderline group, pressures in the one-thirties over eighties, at more than double the rate of the low group. The link held after accounting for inflammation over time, which itself fed the risk. Full hypertension fared worst of all. The authors argue this borderline band, defined by the 2017 American guideline, deserves early treatment in these patients rather than watchful waiting.
