Key result
Guideline-recommended BP targets support AF prevention and management following a J- or U-curve relationship.
Why the study?
Does intensive blood pressure control reduce the risk of incident atrial fibrillation and improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with or at risk for atrial fibrillation?
Does intensive blood pressure control reduce the risk of incident atrial fibrillation and improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with or at risk for atrial fibrillation?
Intensive blood pressure control is crucial for preventing incident atrial fibrillation and improving outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation, though the optimal target may follow a J- or U-curve relationship.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Guideline BP targets may aid AF prevention with J-curve caution; leaves open optimal thresholds for prospective trials.

Meng et al. (2020) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation and Hypertension. Blood pressure treatment targets was evaluated. Available evidence supports targeting blood pressure at guideline-recommended levels for primary prevention and management of atrial fibrillation, with a J- or U-curve relationship existing.
