Effects of Intensive Blood-Pressure Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus The ACCORD Study Group N Engl J Med Volume 362(17):1575-1585 April 29, 2010
Study Overview In a randomized trial, 4733 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were at high risk for cardiovascular events received treatment aimed at a target systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg or less than 140 mm Hg The rates of the primary end point (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death) were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 4.7 years

A Randomized Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure Control The SPRINT Research Group N Engl J Med Volume 373(22):2103-2116 November 26, 2015
Study Overview Patients at increased cardiovascular risk but without diabetes were assigned to intensive treatment of systolic BP (target, <120 mm Hg) or standard treatment (target, <140 mm Hg). After a median of 3.26 years, the rate of cardiovascular events was significantly lower with intensive treatment.
