Treatment blood pressure targets for hypertension
TL;DR: Treating patients to lower than standard BP targets, =140-160/90-100 mmHg, does not reduce mortality or morbidity, and a sensitivity analysis in diabetic patients and in patients with chronic renal disease also did not show a reduction in any of the mortality and morbidity outcomes with lower targets as compared to standard targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure targets for hypertension in people with diabetes mellitus
TL;DR: To determine if 'lower' BP targets (any target less than 130/85 mmHg) are associated with reduction in mortality and morbidity compared with 'standard' BP Targets in people with diabetes, five randomized trials were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure targets in adults with hypertension
TL;DR: This update includes 11 RCTs involving 38,688 participants with a mean follow-up of 3.7 years and indicates that the benefits of lower targets do not outweigh the harms as compared to standard blood pressure targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure targets: are clinical guidelines wrong?
TL;DR: Evidence does not support the traditional premise ‘the lower the better’ in hypertension, and optimal blood pressure targets have not been established, especially for systolic blood pressure in nondiabetic patients.
