As someone wrote some time ago, it's my first comment, but I've been listening to the podcast for a few months now (and I always learn something!). Having finished med school only 4 years ago, lately I find myself questioning what I learned more often than I ever imagined. Are we really helping our patients or generating a greater sense of illness when we lower our targets? I found this Cochrane review, and since it's not on the show notes (it was only published one month ago), I thought I'd share: Arguedas JA, Perez MI, Wright JM. Treatment blood pressure targets for hypertension. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2009; 3:CD004349. In brief, there where no differences in mortality or morbidity when patients where treated to targets bellow the standard 140-160/90-100mmHg.
