Summary

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is an important public health concern. It is highly prevalent, the prevalence may be increasing, and it is a risk factor for several adverse health outcomes, especially coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and decline in cognitive function. The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) is a 2-arm, multicenter, randomized clinical trial designed to test whether a treatment program aimed at reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) to a lower goal than currently recommended will reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • At least 50 years old

Systolic blood pressure of

  • 130 - 180 mm Hg on 0 or 1 medication
  • 130 - 170 mm Hg on up to 2 medications
  • 130 - 160 mm Hg on up to 3 medications
  • 130 - 150 mm Hg on up to 4 medications

Risk (one or more of the following)

  • Presence of clinical or subclinical cardiovascular disease other than stroke
  • CKD, defined as eGFR 20 - 59 ml/min/1.73m2
  • A Framingham Risk Score for 10-year CVD risk ≥ 15%
  • Age greater than 75 years

Exclusion Criteria

  • An indication for a specific BP lowering medication that the person is not taking and the person has not been documented to be intolerant of the medication class.
  • Known secondary cause of hypertension that causes concern regarding safety of the protocol.
  • One minute standing SBP 10% in last 6 months
  • Pregnancy, currently trying to become pregnant, or of child-bearing potential and not using birth control.
