Tighter blood pressure control helped a high-risk diabetes group
In the high-score group, intensive versus standard control reduced cardiovascular risk; the adjusted hazard ratio, comparing event rates over time, was 0.64.In the high-score group, intensive versus standard control reduced cardiovascular risk; the adjusted hazard ratio, comparing event rates over time, was 0.64.

What changedCardiovascular risk was lower with intensive versus standard blood pressure control in the high-score group (adjusted hazard ratio 0.64)
The catchThe overall trial found no reduction in cardiovascular risk with intensive blood pressure control
