- A Randomized Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure ControlWe randomly assigned 9361 persons with a systolic blood pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher and an increased cardiovascular risk, but without diabetes, to a systolic blood-pressure target of less...
- Final Report of a Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure ...The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) was designed to determine whether a systolic blood-pressure target of less than 120 mm Hg (intensive treatment) would be associated...
- Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction and Risk of CVD and MortalityHypertension is the leading global preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death. 1, 2 Observational epidemiologic studies have shown a strong, independent, and log-linear association between usual systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mortality from CVD and all causes, with no evidence of a threshold down to at least ...
