Coronary Revascularization Strategy and Outcomes According to Blood Pressure (from the International Verapamil SR-Trandolapril Study [INVEST])
In conclusion, major adverse outcomes were more frequent in patients with coronary artery disease who had undergone previous CABG, with or without PCI, compared to those with previous PCI only. This likely reflected more severe vascular disease. The relation to systolic BP was J-shaped for each strategy. Among those patients with previous CABG only, the linear relation with DBP suggested that more complete revascularization might attenuate hypoperfusion at a low DBP. The management of BP might, therefore, require modification of targets according to the revascularization strategy to improve outcomes. (Source: The American Journal of Cardiology)
