Overview

Residual risk persists despite treatment; hypothesis-generating for targeted multifactorial trials.

Structured PICO

What are the independent predictors of cardiovascular morbidity in treated middle-aged male hypertensives?

P
Population
Treated, middle-aged male hypertensives derived from a random population sample in Goteborg, Sweden
I
Intervention
Observation of risk factors (diastolic blood pressure, smoking, serum cholesterol, proteinuria, angina pectoris, previous stroke)
C
Comparator
Normotensive comparison group (for a subset analysis)
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity (composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or CVD death)composite

Even with hypertension treatment, cardiovascular risk remains substantial if other risk factors or organ damage are present, highlighting the importance of comprehensive risk factor management.
