The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 09/11/09
Weir MR et al. – The study demonstrated that in conjunction with a lower LDL cholesterol target of 70 mg/dL, aggressive systolic blood pressure–lowering resulted in a reduction in carotid intimal–medial thickness and left ventricular mass without measurable differences in cardiovascular events. The blood pressure treatment algorithm included renin–angiotensin system blockade, with other agents added if necessary. The authors conclude that both standard and more aggressive systolic blood pressure reduction can be achieved with excellent safety and good tolerability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
