A population-based cohort study of blood pressure and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention
Author(s): Jane Watson*
In Korea, revascularization techniques for coronary artery disease (CAD), such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), are becoming more common. However, research into blood pressure control targets in these patients is still lacking. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between baseline blood pressure and all-cause mortality in CAD patients who had PCI. A population-based retrospective cohort research based on the Korean National Health Insurance System's national claims database, which covers the entire Korean population. A total of 38,330 patients having a history of PCI for CAD were enrolled in the study and were tracked for all-cause death. The participants' baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) were measured, and they were divided into eight SBP and DBP groups. For each group, the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause death were .. Read More»
