Background
Intensive (INT) compared to standard (STD) systolic blood pressure (SBP) control might be harmful in persons with low baseline diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
ACCORD BP was a 2X2 factorial design RCT that examined the effects of SBP control (<120mmHg vs. <140 mmHg) and glycemia (GLY) control (HbA1C goal < 6% vs. 7.0–7.9%) on a primary cardiovascular disease (CVD) composite outcome in T2DM (N = 4714). We examined whether the effects of INT SBP lowering on CVD was modified by baseline DBP stratified by the GLY arm.
Results
There were 689 CVD events/ 21,389 years of follow-up. Lower baseline DBP was associated with increased risk of CVD composite (Fig 1). INT SBP lowering decreased the risk of the CVD composite in the STD GLY arm (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.93) but not in INT GLY arm (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.31). Linear interaction p-values for SBP intervention and baseline DBP were not significant in the STD (p = 0.58) or INT (p=0.78) GLY arms. The effects of INT SBP lowering on CVD composite in those with DBP ≤70 mmHg compared to those with DBP > 70 mmHg were similar within the STD or INT GLY arms (Fig 2).
Conclusion
Low baseline DBP was associated with increased risk of CVD composite in T2DM. However, there was no evidence that the beneficial effects of INT SBP lowering on CVD events in STD GLY arm was modified by low baseline DBP.
