Abstract

Hypertension is the most common disease seen in primary care [1] and affects 1 billion adults around the world. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is a risk factor for coronary events, stroke, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease. While we know that treating hypertension reduces cardiovascular disease, the extent to which SBP should be lowered to best achieve this benefit had not yet been determined.
