Aggressive BP-lowering ‘can stave off’ conduction disorders
Treating to a target of <120mmHg systolic BP was linked to a lower risk of left ventricular conduction disease
Intensive blood pressure treatment lowers the risk of left ventricular conduction disease in older adults with hypertension, according to US and Danish researchers.
Their findings, published in JAMA Cardiology, suggest that cardiac conduction disease may be a modifiable outcome “susceptible to prevention strategies”.
