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.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 October 2016.
All research outputs
#23,448,558
of 26,123,112 outputs
Outputs from Current Hypertension Reports
#736
of 802 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#288,485
of 328,411 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Hypertension Reports
#10
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,123,112 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 802 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,411 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
