In this video on research published in JACC and presented at ACC.25, Yuan Lu, ScD, JACC: Executive Associate Editor, discusses her study on optimal blood pressure management for adults aged 80 and above. Her study found that systolic blood pressure below 130 mmHg is associated with lower cardiovascular risk, while levels above 145 mmHg increase heart-related mortality. The study supports intensive blood pressure management but emphasizes the need for personalized treatment and further research on long-term effects and potential risks.#jacc #jaccjournals #acc25
