Dear readers,
The SPRINT research study, funded by the National Institutes of Health to determine whether lower blood pressure would reduce risks for heart and kidney diseases, stroke, or age-related declines in memory and thinking, was stopped early due to a clear advantage for the intensively treated group. Dr. Allan Brett, NEJM Journal Watch General Medicine Editor-in-Chief, offers his take on how clinicians should advise their patients. We hope you enjoy this audio feature.
