“…In 2007, an National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute expert panel concluded that it would be important to test the hypothesis that a lower systolic BP goal could reduce clinical events more than a standard BP reduction goal. Several large recent RCTs sought to answer that question by selecting systolic BP treatment targets of <120 mm Hg (49,61,63,64) or <130 mm Hg (48,(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)62). The results of our meta-analysis have shown that BP lowering to a target of <130 mm Hg may significantly reduce the risk of several important outcomes.…”

“…Publication dates ranged from 1998 through 2015. Target BPs varied for the lower and standard BP groups with 9 studies having a systolic BP target <130 mm Hg for the lower therapy group (48,49,(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64). Many of the studies included patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, CKD, or were at high risk for cardiovascular disease or progression to end-stage renal disease.…”

“…In a network meta-analysis by Bundy and coworkers, a mean achieved systolic BP 120–124 mm Hg was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality even in the comparison with achieved systolic BP levels 125–129 mm Hg 31. Bangalore and coworkers published a network meta-analysis of trials designed to compare different BP targets and concluded that systolic BP targets <120 mm Hg and <130 mm Hg ranked number 1 and number 2, respectively, as the most efficacious for preventing stroke and myocardial infarction 32. Conversely, systolic BP targets <140 mm Hg and <150 mm Hg ranked as number 1 and number 2, respectively, for safety.…”

“…Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have suggested that lowering BP to <120 mm Hg does not increase CVD or mortality risk (8486). However, there may be little benefit associated with lowering SBP much below 120 mm Hg (85). Considering both observational and randomized controlled trial data, it would be hard to justify prescribing or intensifying antihypertensive medication for people with SBP <120 mm Hg or DBP <60 mm Hg, regardless of their global CVD risk.…”
