- ... The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) was a randomized controlled trial that aimed to determine whether intensive blood pressure control is more effective than standard blood pressure control in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other complications in older adults.
The study included 9,361 participants who were at least 50 years of age with systolic blood pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher, and at least one additional cardiovascular risk factor, such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or prior cardiovascular disease. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups ...

- Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the pressure in large arteries of the systemic circulation. Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic (maximum during one heart beat) pressure over diastolic (minimum in between two heart beats) pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), above the surrounding atmospheric pressure (considered to be zero for convenience).
It is one of the vital signs, along with respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. Normal resting blood pressure in an adult is approximately 120 mmHg systolic, and 80 mmHg diastolic, abbreviated "120/80 mmHg". ...
