Can intensive tx ⬇️ CVD risk risk HTN, older 👴🧓
🫀Optimum BP remains uncertain in older pt: differing rec's worldwide
🫀🇨🇳 age 60-80y, 9624 pts RCT, >50% Home BP cuff provided
🫀Intensive 110-130 SBP vs 130-150: 26% benefit with int tx

🫀 No diff in afib, coronary revasc, Mortality but all other endpoints significant
🫀 Safe: Hypotension more common in Intensive arm but no great syncope
🫀 No subgroup diff
How low should we go? Lower!

➡️Mean age 66 (75% below age of 70)
➡️ Most with well controlled BP at entry
Context of patient heterogenity
🫀Signif impact on CV events
🫀 Tx well tolerated & achieved! (SBP 126 Intensive)
🫀Is this SPRINT? BP achieved similar to STEP
