Long-Term Systolic Blood Pressure Time in Target Range and Cardiovascular Disease in Individuals With Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous post hoc analyses of clinical trials have suggested that a higher percentage of systolic blood pressure time in target range (SBP-TTR) was associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is limited evidence from large prospective cohort studies on the relationship between long-term SBP-TTR and the risk of CVD.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to assess the association between long-term SBP-TTR and the risk of CVD in adults with hypertension.

Methods

This study included 26,929 hypertensive patients (mean age 52.8 ± 10.7 years; 83.1% males), free of CVD at baseline from the Kailuan Study. Blood pressure was measured biennially from 2006 to 2012, and the SBP target range was defined as 120 to 140 mm Hg. SBP-TTR
