Key Points

This research aims to evaluate how absolute risk can guide treatment choices for individuals with mild hypertension.
Assessed absolute risk calculations in mild hypertension cases.
Evaluated the impact of risk assessment on treatment decisions.
Considered various cardiovascular outcomes related to treatment.
Increased awareness of absolute risk influenced treatment decisions in 65% of cases.
Patients receiving targeted treatment based on absolute risk showed a 20% reduction in cardiovascular events (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.65-0.98, p=0.04).
Decision-making aligned more closely with risk assessment in follow-up evaluations.
