Where things stand
Treating high blood pressure can prevent serious cardiovascular events. In SPRINT, more intensive treatment reduced cardiovascular events and deaths in the higher-risk adults studied. This is direct human outcome evidence, but the appropriate target depends on the person and the risks of treatment; the trial is not a universal target for everyone.

Evidence events affecting this intervention
Inspiratory muscle training with blood flow restriction showed feasibility in frail older adults in a pilot RCT.
This pilot randomized controlled trial tested combined inspiratory muscle training and blood flow restriction in frail older adults. The study assessed feasibility and preliminary effects on physical function, respiratory strength, handgrip, sit-to-stand performance, body composition, frailty, fall efficacy, and blood pressure. Specific findings on efficacy outcomes were not reported in the abstract provided.
