Either or both can represent higher risk depending on individual risk factors, etc.

If your asking the bigger risk of landing in the ER or death, probably hypertension would be the better metric.

Thx Dr Vogenberg. I was actually thinking in terms of mortality, so agree that HTN is bigger overall risk. - Sam 76 months ago

Hypertension possesses a greater risk to cardiovascular health. It has multi-organ ramifications. Even a well controlled blood pressure can lead to microvascular damage and injury on long duration.
