BACKGROUND: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in individuals with an alerting reaction, assessed by hypertension in the first blood pressure (BP) reading but normal BP in further readings, remains unknown in the general population. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a sample of 11 146 adults (51.5% men and 48.5% women) with a mean age of 47.1 years (SD ± 12.3) from a German population-based cohort, we analyzed risk factors and CVD mortality risk associated with an alerting reaction. An alerting reaction was prevalent in 10.2% of the population and associated with sociodemographic, lifestyle, and somatic CVD risk factors. Within a mean follow-up period of 22.7 years (SD ± 7.05 years; max: 32 years; 253 201 person years), 1420 (12.7%) CVD mortality cases were observed. The CVD mortality rate associated with an alerting reaction was significantly higher than in normotension (64 vs. 32 cases/10 000 person-years), but lower than hypertension (118 cases/10 000 person-years). Correspondingly, the alerting reaction was associated with a 23% higher hazard ratio of CVD mortality than normal blood pressure [hazard ratio 1.23 (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.49), P = 0.04]. However, adjustment for antihypertensive medication use attenuated this association [1.19 (0.99-1.44), P = 0.06]. CONCLUSION: The results may warrant monitoring of an alerting reaction as a preventive measure of CVD mortality in untreated individuals with elevated first BP readings, as well as optimized treatment in treated individuals.
