A new study has been released that answers a question that cardiologists have asked for decades: how low can blood pressure go? In an article via New York Times, “The study found that patients who were assigned to reach a systolic blood pressure goal below 120 — far lower than current guidelines of 140, and 150 for people over 60 — had their risk of heart attacks and strokes reduced by nearly a third and their risk of death reduced by nearly a quarter.” For more information, please visit: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/health/blood-pressure-study.html?emc=edit_na_20150911&nlid=57686763&ref=cta&_r=0
