May warrant additional risk factor modification in treated hypertensives; leaves open whether this reduces events in trials.
Do well-treated male hypertensives have a higher risk of cerebro-cardiovascular morbidity compared to controls?
Well-treated male hypertensives retain a significantly higher risk of cerebro-cardiovascular morbidity compared to controls, suggesting a need for further risk factor modification such as weight reduction.
