Lowering the systolic blood pressure target in hypertensive patients: current controversies and future outlook.
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy 2018 December
INTRODUCTION: Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have established the benefits of blood pressure (BP) lowering. The 2017 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines for the management of hypertension established 130/80 mmHg as the threshold for the diagnosis- and treatment-target BP level. Area covered: The global trends are thought to be heading toward intensive BP-lowering management. In this paper, authors summarize the evidence on lowering the BP target in hypertensive patients with a focus on the 2017 AHA/ACC guidelines. Expert commentary: According to the results of clinical research, meta-analyses and the 2017 AHA/ACC guidelines, the target systolic BP may change from less than 140/80 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg in any other international hypertension guidelines. However, this direction of intensive BP control is still controversial.
