Cardiovascular benefit of blood-pressure lowering in chronic kidney disease

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the cardiovascular benefits of lowering blood pressure in individuals with chronic kidney disease.
• Randomized trial design assessing blood pressure interventions in chronic kidney disease patients.
• Evaluated cardiovascular outcomes and renal function over a specified follow-up period.
• Significant reduction in cardiovascular events among participants receiving blood pressure-lowering interventions (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.95, p=0.02).
• Improvement in renal function observed alongside blood pressure reduction, indicating a dual benefit.
