Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) can help reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and its economic impact within healthcare.
- A health economic model was used to analyze factors like smoking, diabetes, and cholesterol, and found that reducing SBP is the most effective way to lower CVD risk.
- Results showed a significant decrease in CVD deaths and costs, indicating that population-level SBP reduction is both effective and cost-saving in improving health outcomes related to cardiovascular conditions.
