In general, the blood pressure target for coronary artery disease after stent placement is <130/80 mmHg, or <150/90 mmHg if the patient is 60 years of age and older, and can be lowered to less than 140/90 mmHg if tolerated.
Hypertension is a common cardiovascular syndrome in clinical practice, and the aim of blood pressure control is to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, target organ damage, and coexisting clinical conditions. For patients with coronary artery disease, blood pressure should be controlled to <130/80 mmHg as tolerated after stenting to minimize complications and damage to target organ structural function.
For elderly patients aged 60 years and above, due to the decline in vascular elasticity and cardiac function, in order to ensure blood supply to vital organs, it is recommended to control the blood pressure <150/90mmHg, if tolerated, can be lowered to 140/90mmHg or below. For the elderly over 80 years of age, the target value for lowering blood pressure is <150/90mmHg.
