Intensive Blood Pressure Control: A Superior Approach Researchers investigated whether lowering systolic blood pressure to below 120 mm Hg offers greater benefits compared to a target of 140 mm Hg, especially for patients with diabetes or previous stroke. The benefits were consistent regardless of diabetes status or history of stroke.
