Efficacy of Blood Pressure-Lowering Pharmacotherapy in Isolated Diastolic Hypertension: A Systematic Synthesis of Evidence

This review synthesizes recent evidence, including a landmark 2026 meta-analysis, showing that blood pressure-lowering therapy provides similar cardiovascular benefits in patients with isolated diastolic hypertension compared to those with other hypertension phenotypes, even at low baseline diastolic levels.
