The SPRINT trial demonstrated significant benefits for blood pressure management.

“the intervention that was used in Sprint still showed a remarkable benefit and so we can't exist with the tools we have yeah and while they're not optimal they're are probably adequate”

“if you go back and you look at the DAT if you look at the methods what they did was they had people in a quiet room that had an automated cuff one of the sort of standard you know sort of U Best in Class at that time automated cuff they put the cuff on the person they had them s seated and relaxed in a quiet room by themselves and they had the blood pressure measured three times five minutes in between right so total of once five minute break one more five minute break and and once more and they took the average of those blood pressures and that's obviously much different than having somebody Rush In after parking their car and run into the office in a sweat and show up and somebody slaps a cuff on them and measures the blood pressure but my point is that that optimal way of blood measuring blood pressure even if it ends up yielding numbers that are lower than are what we typically get that led to the result in that trial which was so spectacular that the trial was stopped early”
