Morning Home Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Events in Japanese Hypertensive Patients
2018
SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) demonstrated the benefit of achieving strict blood pressure control with a lower target blood pressure level in high-risk patients with hypertension. The aim of this post hoc analysis was to investigate the relationship between the 2-year average on-treatment home blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk in subgroups stratified by risk status using data from the HONEST study (Home Blood Pressure Measurement With Olmesartan Naive Patients to Establish Standard Target Blood Pressure). Participants in the HONEST study (n=21 591) were stratified according to risk level as follows: SPRINT population (n=5823)—patients (≥50 years of age) without diabetes mellitus or prior stroke, with SPRINT-defined cardiovascular risk and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≥130 mm Hg; SPRINT-excluded high-risk population (n=5481)—patients with diabetes mellitus or prior stroke; and non-SPRINT low-risk population—all other patients in the HONEST study (n=10 287).
