Antihypertensive drug effects on long-term blood pressure: an individual-level data meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials

Dexter Canoy et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient-level data from randomized clinical trials to investigate the long-term effects of antihypertensive drugs on blood pressure. The results showed that antihypertensive drugs were effective in lowering blood pressure, with maximal effect observed after 12 months and gradual attenuation over time. The findings suggest the need for appropriate treatment strategies to sustain long-term blood pressure reductions.

Do recent meta-analyses truly prove that treatment with blood pressure-lowering drugs is beneficial at any blood pressure value, no matter how low? A critical review

Reinhold Kreutz et al.

Summary: Current European guidelines for hypertension favor a treatment threshold at a SBP level of 140 mmHg or above, but recent meta-analyses suggest potential benefits of BP-lowering across different ranges, challenging the current definition of hypertension.

Antihypertensive treatment and risk of cancer: an individual participant data meta-analysis

Summary: This study found no consistent evidence linking antihypertensive medication use to cancer risk, providing reassurance to clinical practice. However, evidence for some comparisons was insufficient to entirely rule out excess risk, particularly for calcium channel blockers.

Age-stratified and blood-pressure-stratified effects of blood-pressure-lowering pharmacotherapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and death: an individual participant-level data meta-analysis

Kazem Rahimi et al.

Summary: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that pharmacological blood pressure reduction can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in the elderly, with no variation in relative risk reduction based on age and baseline blood pressure levels, and greater absolute risk reductions in older age groups.

Blood pressure-lowering treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation: An individual participant data meta-analysis

Ana-Catarina Pinho-Gomes et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of blood pressure-lowering drugs in patients with and without atrial fibrillation (AF) and found that lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events similarly in individuals with and without AF. Pharmacological blood pressure reduction should be recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with AF.
