Background The Hypertension Optimal Treatment (HOT) Study investigated 18 790 hypertensives randomized to three diastolic blood pressure (DBP) targets (less than or equal to90, less than or equal to85, less than or equal to80 mmHg) for 3.8 years and found marked, significant reductions in cardiovascular events and mortality the lower the target DBP in the subset of diabetics. We investigated whether the benefits of intensive DBP lowering could be extended to other subgroups, and whether there are hypertensives in whom the risk of aggressive DBP lowering may outnumber the benefits.Methods and results The 18 790 patients were stratified as: medium/high-very high global cardiovascular risk; men/women; older/younger; current smokers/nonsmokers; higher/lower serum cholesterol; higher/lower serum creatinine; with/without diabetes; with/without ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Comparisons were made between the less aggressive target group (DBP
