This review is focused on arterial hypertension in athletes, mainly the prevalence, recommendations for evaluation of athletes (including possible doping issues) and evaluation for participation in competitive sports. Also blood pressure during exercise is reviewed and its importance for assessment of cardiovascular risk.
