    Lower achieved systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels in high-risk hypertensive patients are linked to fewer major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

  • 2

    The study included 180 high-risk hypertensive patients, categorizing them based on SBP levels achieved during follow-up.

  • 3

    Patients with SBP <120 mmHg experienced significantly fewer MACE events compared to those with SBP between 130-139 mmHg.

  • 4

    The relative risk reduction in cardiovascular events was 30% for patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

  • 5

    Adverse events were slightly more common in the lower SBP group but remained clinically manageable, indicating the need for further research.
