A recent editorial in The Lancet, entitled “Is the concept of hypertension as a disease unhelpful?”, raises questions regarding the optimal approach to prevention of blood pressure (BP)-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). 1 Initially, the editorial called attention to the fact that awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension (systolic BP [SBP]≥ 140 mm Hg, diastolic BP [DBP]≥ 90 mm Hg or treatment with antihypertensive drug therapy) is inadequate worldwide but especially so in middle-and low-income countries. This was based on two reports published in the same issue. 2, 3 While disturbing, the findings in these two articles are not surprising. Previous reports, based on representative samples, have reported a high and increasing prevalence of elevated BP and hypertension worldwide, 4, 5 and inadequate awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, especially in low-and middle-income countries where Mills et al4 estimated that only 7.7% of adults with hypertension were being treated and controlled to a systolic BP< 140 mm in 2010. Recognizing differences in methods and timeline, the 10.3% estimate of awareness, treatment, and control in low-and middle-income countries by Geldsetzer et al is similar.The editorial goes on to ask the question “So, is the concept of hypertension as a disease with defined, albeit changing thresholds actually unhelpful?” The debate as to whether CVD risk reduction is best achieved by a focus on pre-existing (underlying) CVD risk, high levels of individual CVD risk factors, including high BP, or both is not new. 6 The Lancet editorial cites a retrospective analysis by Herrett et al which modeled the potential effect of the four following BP-lowering strategies on burden of CVD: Treatment based on (a) a BP threshold (SBP/DBP≥ 140/90 mm Hg),(b) the 2011 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline combination of CVD risk and BP thresholds,(c) the 2019 NICE guideline combination of CVD risk and BP thresholds, which employs a lower threshold for estimated CVD risk compared to the 2011 guideline, and (d) a CVD risk estimation threshold. 7 The percentages of adults eligible for treatment, associated rate of CVD per 1000 patient-years of observation, and expected number of CVD events that would be prevented during slightly more than 4 years in the United Kingdom were 22.2%, 15.2%, and 271 963 using the 2011 NICE guideline thresholds, 26.8%, 14.9%, and 327 429 using the 2019 NICE guideline thresholds, 39.4%, 11.4%, and 301 523 using the BP threshold, and 29.3%, 16.9%, and 322 921 using the CVD risk estimation threshold. In summary, each approach was predicted to be beneficial with CVD risk estimation (alone) being identified as the best approach to CVD prevention, with a slight advantage compared
