Evaluation of Optimal #Diastolic Blood #Pressure Range Among Adults With Treated Systolic Blood Pressure Less Than 130 mm Hg
Extremely low diastolic blood pressure has been reported to be associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events (ie, the diastolic J-shape phenomenon); however, current US guidelines recommend an intensive blood pressure target of less than 130/80 mm Hg without mentioning the lower limits of diastolic blood pressure. Objectives To evaluate whether there is a diastolic J-shape phenomenon for patients with an treated systolic blood pressure of … Continue reading Evaluation of Optimal #Diastolic Blood #Pressure Range Among Adults With Treated Systolic Blood Pressure Less Than 130 mm Hg
