The benefits of aggressive BP control in patients with CAD.
Is it time to get more aggressive with BP control? Evidence is mounting that the answer to that question is definitely yes. In fact, new research suggests that national guidelines simply don't go far enough with their recommended BP targets for patients who already have cardiac disease. More evidence would be nice, but investigators maintain there is already a compelling case for clinicians to treat to lower targets.
