Assessment of Long-term Benefit of Intensive Blood Pressure Control on Residual Life Span

Assessment of Long-term Benefit of Intensive Blood Pressure Control on Residual Life Span Key PointsQuestionWhat are the expected associations of intensive vs standard blood pressure control with residual life span in middle-aged and older adults who are at high cardiovascular risk but without diabetes mellitus? FindingsIn this second analysis of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) randomized clinical trial, applying age-based methods and assuming consistent treatment responses over time, it was estimated that intensive blood pressure control improves projected survival by 6 months to 3 years, depending on the age at which this treatment strategy is started. MeaningThese actuarial analyses from the SPRINT trial support the survival benefits of intensive blood pressure control, especially among middle-aged adults at risk. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA Cardiology American Medical Association

Abstract

Key PointsQuestionWhat are the expected associations of intensive vs standard blood pressure control with residual life span in middle-aged and older adults who are at high cardiovascular risk but without diabetes mellitus? FindingsIn this second analysis of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) randomized clinical trial, applying age-based methods and assuming consistent treatment responses over time, it was estimated that intensive blood pressure control improves projected survival by 6 months to 3 years, depending on the age at which this treatment strategy is started. MeaningThese actuarial analyses from the SPRINT trial support the survival benefits of intensive blood pressure control, especially among middle-aged adults at risk.
