Achieved systolic blood pressure and cardiovascular outcomes in 60–80-year-old patients: the Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in the Elderly Hypertensive Patients (STEP) trial

Abstract Aims Intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering has been increasingly used; however, data is missing on patients who had target-achieved (TA). This study aims to show the cardiovascular effect of maintaining SBP at intensive levels. Methods The Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Aims Intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering has been increasingly used; however, data is missing on patients who had target-achieved (TA). This study aims to show the cardiovascular effect of maintaining SBP at intensive levels. Methods The Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in Elderly Hypertensive Patients (STEP) trial was a multicentre, randomized, controlled trial which enrolled 8511 young-older (60–80 years) hypertensive patients without prior stroke to compare the cardiovascular prognosis of the intensive treatment (SBP target, 110 to
