Abstract
Hypertension continues to be the most common cardiovascular disorder in the USA and worldwide. While generally considered a disorder of aging individuals, hypertension is more prevalent in athletes and the active population than is generally appreciated. The timely detection, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of hypertension in athletes must focus on both adequately managing the disorder and ensuring safe participation in sport while not compromising exercise capacity. This publication focuses on appropriately diagnosing hypertension, treating hypertension in the athletic population, and suggesting follow-up and participation guidelines for athletes.
