The Seventh Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment
of Hypertension (JNC-7) introduced pre-hypertension (PHT) as a new category defined as
systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 120 to 139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 80
to 89 mmHg in young adults aged 25 years or older. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a

cardiovascular disease, divided into 3 types: ST elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI),
Non-STEMI, and Unstable Angina Pectoris f(lAP), base on Electrocardiogram (ECG),
Creatine Kinase-MB(CKMB), and Troponin T. Individuals with PHT are at high risk of
developing clinical hypertension than those lower BP levels, and also associated with
increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, including ACS. The aim of this study was to
evaluate PHT as a risk factor of ACS.
This preliminary descriptive study was using 60 patients with ACS. The result from this
study found 6 adults patients (4 men and 2 women) with PHT, aged 42 to 52 years old
conducted during April to August 2010. The type of ACS, BP, waist circumference, High
Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c), Triglyceride (7U), and fasting blood glucose
(FBG) were collected. From 6 patients with ACS, 5 patients had STEM! and 1 patient had
UAP. BP among 6 PHT patients were similar (120/ 80 mmHg). High waist circumference
only found in 2 women. Low HDL-c found in 3 patients. High TG is not found in all
patients. High FBG found in 1 patient.
Conclusion: The possibility of ACS in PHT will be increased If accompanied with another risk
factor.
