One BP target for all, or tailor it?

▲8.9#3

For adults with confirmed hypertension under the 2025 guideline, should clinicians drive all patients toward <130/80, or set individualized targets by frailty and risk?

Push everyone to <130/80vsTailor the target to the patient

4–2 on record +21 vote — split reveals at 10

How you read the new guideline decides whether every hypertensive patient gets pushed to under 130/80, or whether frail and elderly patients get looser goals to avoid falls, kidney injury, and overtreatment.
