Intensive SBP target <120 mm Hg does not reduce major CV events in high-risk T2DM; leaves open optimal targets pending higher-certainty data.
Does targeting a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg reduce fatal and nonfatal major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular events?
Intensive blood pressure control (target <120 mm Hg) does not reduce major cardiovascular events compared to standard control (<140 mm Hg) in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes.
