This present study is a secondary analysis that investigated the association between mean achieved BP in the two treatment groups (SBP target, 110 to <130 vs. 130 to <150 mmHg) and their cardiovascular outcomes in the STEP study (6080-year-old patients with hypertension).Patients achieving a target in the intensive-treatment group have better cardiovascular outcome than patients achieving a target in the standard treatment arm, supporting the cardiovascular benefits of maintaining SBP <130 mmHg.J-shaped relationships were observed between mean achieved SBP and cardiovascular outcomes (with the nadir around 130 mmHg), but not for stroke.
