characteristic

code: Population

value: Hypertension with systolic blood pressure 130-180 mmHg and at least one additional cardiovascular risk factor

exclude: false

description:

Adults with a measured systolic blood pressure between 130 and 180 mmHg inclusive, together with at least one of: clinical or subclinical cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease with eGFR 20-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, a 10-year Framingham risk score of 15 percent or greater, or age 75 years or older.

characteristic

code: Age Range

value: 50-? years

exclude: false

description:

Aged 50 years or older at the time of eligibility assessment. No upper age limit is applied.

characteristic

code: Intervention

value: Intensive blood-pressure control: antihypertensive therapy titrated to a systolic target below 120 mmHg

exclude: false

description:

Any antihypertensive regimen titrated at monthly intervals to achieve and maintain a systolic blood pressure below 120 mmHg. The specific agents used are not constrained by this question.

characteristic

code: Comparator

value: Standard blood-pressure control: antihypertensive therapy titrated to a systolic target below 140 mmHg

exclude: false

description:

Any antihypertensive regimen titrated to achieve and maintain a systolic blood pressure below 140 mmHg, reflecting the guideline-recommended target in force at the time the question was formulated.

characteristic

code: Outcome Measure

value: Major adverse cardiovascular events: composite of myocardial infarction, other acute coronary syndrome, stroke, acute decompensated heart failure, or death from cardiovascular causes

exclude: false

description:

Time to first occurrence of any component of the composite, adjudicated by a committee unaware of treatment assignment. Individual components are reported as separate outcome measures in the evidence report.
