A 53-year-old man seeks evaluation from his physician with concerns about his blood pressure. He was recently told at a local health fair that he has high blood pressure. He has not seen a physician since leaving college because he never felt the need for medical attention. Although he feels fine, he is concerned because his father had hypertension and died due to a heart attack at 61 years of age. He does not smoke cigarettes but drinks alcohol occasionally. The blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg today. The physical examination is unremarkable. Labs are ordered and he is asked to monitor his blood pressure at home before the follow-up visit. Two weeks later, the blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg. The blood pressure measurements at home ranged from 130/90 to 155/95 mm Hg. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is normal. Lab tests show the following:
