Determining the Optimal Systolic Blood Pressure for Hypertensive Patients: A Network Meta-analysis

ConclusionsSBP <130 mmHg is associated with a lower risk of stroke and major adverse cardiovascular events. Further lowering to <120 mmHg can be considered to reduce stroke risk if the therapy is tolerated. Long-term SBP should not exceed 150 mmHg because of increased risk of myocardial infarction and cardiac deaths.
