RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE AND ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY WITH LOWER SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF THE US COHORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL VERAPAMIL SR-TRANDOLAPRIL STUDY (INVEST)

Background: A goal systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≤120mmHg reduced all-cause mortality in older SPRINT patients; however, implications of concomitantly lowering diastolic BP (DBP) with this goal are uncertain. Methods: 17,131 hypertensive subjects ≥50 yo with CAD were analyzed by SBP category (<
