J-curve revisited: an analysis of blood pressure and cardiovascular events in the Treating to New Targets (TNT) Trial

Does low blood pressure (<110-120/<60-70 mmHg) increase the risk of future cardiovascular events in patients with CAD?

Population

Patients with CAD

Intervention

Low blood pressure (<110-120/<60-70 mmHg)

Outcome

Future cardiovascular eventshard clinical

In patients with CAD, low blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular events, supporting the existence of a J-curve.

In patients with CAD, a low BP (<110-120/<60-70 mmHg) portends an increased risk of future cardiovascular events (except stroke).
