Key result
Single systolic BP over 130 mmHg is linked to higher risk of CVD and mortality.
Why the study?
Does a single systolic hypertension measurement (SBP > 130 mmHg) predict higher risk of CVD or mortality independent of the average of three measurements in middle-aged adults without baseline CVD?

A single elevated systolic blood pressure reading (>130 mmHg) is associated with increased cardiovascular and mortality risk, independent of the average of three readings.

Berlot et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=13,095). A single hypertensive measurement (systolic BP > 130 mmHg) vs. Hypertension based on the mean systolic blood pressure was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality. A single occurrence of systolic BP > 130 mmHg was associated with a higher risk of CVD or mortality independent of hypertension based on the mean systolic blood pressure.
