Abstract

Apesar da hipertensão arterial sistêmica ser uma condição muito prevalente, a meta pressórica a ser atingida ainda permanece incerta. O estudo SPRINT comparou o controle pressórico mais intensivo (pressão sistólica menor que 120 mmHg) versus o controle habitual (pressão sistólica menor que 140 mmHg). Neste trabalho, houve redução significativa de eventos cerebro e cardiovasculares e também de mortalidade no grupo de tratamento intensivo. Entretanto, esta redução foi associada a maior incidência de eventos adversos.
