Solution

Para determinar cuál de las presiones arteriales mencionadas se considera prehipertensión, primero debemos entender los rangos de presión arterial según las guías médicas.

  1. Presión arterial normal: Menos de 120/80 mm Hg.
  2. Prehipertensión: 120-139/80-89 mm Hg.
  3. Hipertensión etapa 1: 140-159/90-99 mm Hg.
  4. Hipertensión etapa 2: 160 mm Hg o más/100 mm Hg o más.

Ahora, evaluemos cada opción:

  1. 130 mm Hg sobre 85 mm Hg: Este valor cae dentro del rango de prehipertensión (120-139/80-89 mm Hg).
  2. 118 mm Hg sobre 82 mm Hg: La presión sistólica está en el rango normal, pero la diastólica está en el rango de prehipertensión. Sin embargo, generalmente se considera prehipertensión cuando ambos valores están en el rango de prehipertensión.
  3. 142 mm Hg sobre 95 mm Hg: Este valor cae dentro del rango de hipertensión etapa 1 (140-159/90-99 mm Hg).
  4. 145 mm Hg sobre 105 mm Hg: Este valor cae dentro del rango de hipertensión etapa 2 (160 mm Hg o más/100 mm Hg o más).

Por lo tanto, la opción que se considera prehipertensión es:

130 mm Hg sobre 85 mm Hg.
