Hypertension and cardiovascular  risk factor management in a multi-ethnic cohort of adults with CKD: a cross sectional study in general practice

The poor systolic blood pressure control in older age groups ≥ 60 years and in Black African or obese individuals is clinically important as these groups are at increased risk of mortality for cardiovascular diseases.PMID:34782969 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-021-01149-0
