The reduction in blood pressure required to reduce arterial stiffness components in SPRINT: A randomized controlled trial.
Background: We previously demonstrated that intensive blood pressure (BP) control reduces total pulse wave velocity (T-PWV), through a load-dependent (LD-PWV), but not structural mechanism (S-PWV). We examined the extent to which changes in supine systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP)...
