Why the study?
Does higher long-term systolic blood pressure time in target range improve cardiovascular benefits in elderly Chinese veterans with hypertension?
Does higher long-term systolic blood pressure time in target range improve cardiovascular benefits in elderly Chinese veterans with hypertension?
Higher long-term systolic blood pressure time in target range is associated with cardiovascular benefits in elderly hypertensive Chinese veterans.
Should not yet change practice; leaves open whether targeting time in range improves outcomes in trials.
This ongoing Chinese veteran cohort study adds to the understanding of the relationship between higher long-term systolic blood pressure (SBP) time in target range (TTR) and cardiovascular benefits among elderly individuals with hypertension.
