Prognostic importance of pretreatment and on-treatment blood pressure: Further analysis of the ACTION database and the effect of nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system.
Authors: Elliott HL, Lloyd SM, Ford I, Meredith PA Abstract This retrospective further analysis of the ACTION database evaluated the relationships between baseline blood pressure (BP), on-treatment BP (after 6 weeks) and subsequent cardiovascular outcomes. Analyses were performed using multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. Statistically significant (p < 0.001) and consistent patterns were noted between the risk of major cardiovascular endpoints and both baseline SBP and on-treatment SBP. The lowest risk of debilitating stroke was apparent in those patients with baseline SBP < 120mmHg, with a ha...
