Kain, K (2016) Population appropriate blood pressure lowering for prevention of cardiovascular disease. The Lancet, 388 (10040). p. 126. ISSN 0140-6736
Abstract
Dena Ettehad and colleagues1 show that the lowering of blood pressure significantly reduces vascular risk across various baseline blood pressures and comorbidities. However, this result will only be applicable to populations in whom the trials were done because the mechanisms of hypertension—and hence the responses—could be dissimilar in different cardiovascular diseases in diverse populations.
