Abstract
lood pressure (BP) management strategies have evolved substantially over recent decades, shifting from approaches based exclusively on BP thresholds to the adoption of multidimensional, risk-based decision making. 1 Within this context, the 2025 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) Scientific Statement on the use of risk assessment in BP management 2 represents a further welcome advancement towards aligning clinical practice with contemporary evidence.The Statement offers a robust and evidence-informed framework for risk-based BP management.However, in our view, some key issues remain that are worth highlighting.
