High blood pressure can increase your overall chances of death by 21%! This study will show you why.
Can you imagine a study being halted early because the results were so overwhelming that they wanted everyone to benefit right away? That's what happened with this blood pressure study.
The average blood pressure of the people in the study was 173/91 and they lived in 13 different countries at 195 hospitals. In total, 3,845 people took part in the study.
Over a period of four years the study was conducted there was a dramatic drop in mortality rates. The results were caused by a drop in average blood pressure from 173/91 to 150/61. Overall mortality dropped 21%. Death from cardiovascular events dropped 23%. There were 30% fewer strokes and in the strokes that did occur the patients were 39% less likely to die. The largest drop came from a 64% reduction in heart failure deaths.
