Background
Intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering decreased the risk of death in SPRINT. However, there are concerns in those with low baseline diastolic blood pressure (DBP) that intensive BP lowering might adversely affect kidney perfusion and increase the risk for death/ ESKD.
Methods
The African-American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) trial examined the effects of two different BP goals (mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 92 vs ≥ 102-109) in African American men and women (N =1094) with kidney disease but no diabetes. We investigated whether the effectts of BP intervention on the risk of death/ESKD was modified by baseline DBP.
Results
Mean baseline age was 55 ± 11 yrs and DBP 95 ± 14 mmHg. There were 264 death/ESKD events over 4714 years of follow-up., Compared to usual BP control, low BP goal resulted in lower levels of follow-up SBP, MAP and DBP across baseline DBP tertiles (Fig 1). Despite the lower follow-up MAP and DBP values, there was no evidence that low BP goal increased the risk of death/ESKD in those with low baseline DBP (Fig 2). Interaction of baseline DBP and BP intervention for death/ESKD was not significant (p =0.22).
Conclusion
The effect of BP lowering on the risk of death/ESKD was not modified by low baseline DBP. Hence, low baseline DBP by itself should not be an impediment for intensive BP lowering in CKD.
