Why the study?
Is high-normal blood pressure associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
Is high-normal blood pressure associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
High-normal blood pressure is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, highlighting the need for future trials to determine if lowering blood pressure in this group is beneficial.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not change practice in high-normal BP; leaves open whether lowering it reduces CVD events.
High-normal blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Our findings emphasize the need to determine whether lowering high-normal blood pressure can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
