Cardiovascular outcome and home blood pressure in relation to silent myocardial ischemia in a clinical population: The J-HOP study.

ABSTRACT: Several guidelines recommend measuring home blood pressure (BP) and lowering blood pressure than ever before. But several studies reported that lowering diastolic blood pressure (DBP) increased the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). We analyzed 3605 individuals who underwent both home and office BP monitoring over 14 days and baseline Hs-cTnT measurement and identified follow-up data of the Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure (J-HOP) study who had a history of or risk factors for cardiovascular disease. During a mean follow-up period of 6.4 years (23 173 person-years), 114 coronary artery disease and 81 stroke events occurred. Elevated Hs-cTnT (≥0.014 ng/mL) was observed in 298 patients (8.3%). In the group with non-elevated Hs-cTnT (<0.014 ng/mL, n = 3307), an adjusted Cox ha
