If you’ve been tuning into Shortcut U over the past couple of years, you know that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death globally.

Thus far, I’ve allocated a lot of reading time and posts towards how lipidology (i.e. largely cholesterol-related metrics and metabolism) influences this leading killer; however, there are significant risk factors for ASCVD in addition to just LDL particle count (i.e. apo-B).

In this episode of the Talking Studies Series, I break down a pivotal study related to one such risk factor: blood pressure.

Specifically, I talk through the Sprint Research Group’s study, “A Randomized Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure Control,” where the researchers explored whether lowering blood pressure below 120 mm Hg as compared to below 140 mm Hg leads to better outcomes for individuals at increased risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event (i.e. heart attack, stroke, etc.).
