| Description |
A new observational analysis of the ONTARGET study shows that lower is not necessarily better when it comes to blood pressure in this patient population, with coronary heart disease or diabetes plus additional risk factors. Although there was evidence that lower BP was better for stroke, there was a suggestion of harm when BP was reduced below 130 mm Hg systolic for the outcome of cardiovascular death in diabetics.
