“Over a median 3.32-year follow-up, intensive systolic blood-pressure lowering was associated with lower primary cardiovascular-outcome risk than standard treatment across metabolic-syndrome tertiles; the largest reduction was in the middle tertile (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.44–0.99).”

“The STEP analysis found no significant treatment-by-metabolic-syndrome interaction for cardiovascular or safety outcomes, although hypotension was numerically more frequent with intensive treatment in the highest tertile.”
