Low systolic blood pressure from treatment and association with serious falls/syncope
American Journal of Preventive Medicine Aug 29, 2018
Sim JJ, et al. - In this cross-sectional study within the Kaiser Permanente Southern California health system (2014–2015), researchers examined a large representative population of medically treated hypertensive individuals with successful hypertension control rates in order to assess serious falls and syncope in people with low-treated systolic blood pressure (SBP). They used SBPs in a 1-year window in order to compare serious falls and syncope among individuals with SBP <110 mmHg vs ≥110 mmHg. They reported serious falls and syncope in relation to both minimum and mean SBP less than 110 mmHg among treated hypertensive patients. Given the emphasis on intensive blood pressure control, low treatment-related blood pressures deserve consideration.
