The LancetBlood pressure, stroke, and coronary heart disease
4,511 Citations1990Rory Collins, Richard Peto +12 more
A sufficiently high risk of stroke (perhaps because of age, blood pressure, or, in particular, history of cerebrovascular disease) may be the clearest indication for antihypertensive treatment.

4,281 Citations1990Stephen MacMahon
The DBP results suggest that for the large majority of individuals, whether conventionally "hypertensive" or "normotensive", a lower blood pressure should eventually confer a lower risk of vascular disease.

American Journal of Kidney DiseasesDeath Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: The Predictive Value of Commonly Measured Variables and an Evaluation of Death Rate Differences Between Facilities
1,982 Citations1990Edmund G. Lowrie, Nancy L. Lew
Strategies designed to improve the overall mortality statistic for dialysis patients in the United States would be better directed toward improving the quality of care for all patients, particularly high-risk patients, within their usual treatment settings rather than trying to identify facilities with high death rate for possible regulatory intervention.
New England Journal of MedicineBlood Pressure and End-Stage Renal Disease in Men
1,645 Citations1996Michael J. Klag, Paul K. Whelton +6 more
Elevations of blood pressure are a strong independent risk factor for end-stage renal disease; interventions to prevent the disease need to emphasize the prevention and control of both high-normal and high blood pressure.

An analysis of error showed that this second-generation formula eliminated the overestimation of Kt/V in the high ranges found with the first-generation model, and total error was reduced.

Chronic renal failure may be accompanied by reversible sympathetic activation, which appears to be mediated by an afferent signal arising in the failing kidneys.

It is suggested that patient survival should be considered as the best overall index of adequacy of dialysis as it is better than usually reported.

There was a J-shaped relation, confined to those with evidence of ischaemic heart disease, between frequency of death from myocardial infarction and treatedDBP (phase V); the frequency was lowest at treated DBP of 85-90 mm Hg and rose with treated DBPs on either side of this range.

The level of hemodialysis dose measured by URR or Kt/V beyond which the mortality rate does not continue to decrease, though not well defined with this study, appears to be above current levels of typical treatment of he modialysis patients in the U.S.

JAMAThe J-Curve Phenomenon and the Treatment of Hypertension
399 Citations1991Lisa Farnett
It is concluded that low treated diastolic blood pressure levels, ie, below 85 mm Hg, are associated with increased risk of cardiac events, and low treated blood pressure reduction in hypertensive subjects is no longer beneficial and possibly even deleterious.

Two distinct patterns of response of blood pressure to achievement of dry weight (no clinical evidence of edema and optimal body sodium content and volume of water), antihypertensive drugs and bilateral nephrectomy were documented in 40 unselected patients with end-stage renal disease.
Kidney InternationalAssociation between blood pressure and the rate of decline in renal function with age
366 Citations1984Robert D. Lindeman, Jordan D. Tobin +1 more
Both MBP and age significantly influenced BCr, suggesting that an accelerated loss of renal function is observed primarily because of the impact exerted by individuals with blood pressures in the hypertensive range.

A Cox regression analysis was used to determine the relative risk of death of such characteristics as age, renal diagnosis, co-morbidity, urea index (KT/V), and albumin in nondiabetic and diabetic patients.
The LancetRELATION OF REDUCTION IN PRESSURE TO FIRST MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN PATIENTS RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR SEVERE HYPERTENSION
247 Citations1979I M Stewart
It would seem that, in severe middle-aged hypertensives, attempts at "normalisation" of high blood- pressure may precipitate as many infarctions as it prevents, and the findings suggest that the blood-pressure in such patients should seldom be reduced by more than 22% or to diastolic levels less than 104--110 mm Hg.
BMJCoronary flow reserve and the J curve relation between diastolic blood pressure and myocardial infarction.
232 Citations1988J. M. Cruickshank
The most probable explanation is that subjects who have severe stenosis of the coronary artery as well as hypertension have a poor coronary flow reserve, which makes the myocardium vulnerable to coronary perfusion pressures that are tolerated by patients without ischaemia, particularly at high heart rates.

139 Citations1992Jane F. Desforges, Astrid Fletcher +1 more
The argument, presented here, is not that the J curve does not exist, but rather that the putative cause- and-effect relation between the reduction in blood pressure and the mortality rate is not credible.
