Summary

This study looks at how different blood pressure treatment goals affect artery stiffness in veterans over 60 with high blood pressure. Researchers will use a new, non-invasive method to measure stiffness caused by blood pressure itself versus long-term changes in the artery wall. The goal is to learn how to tailor blood pressure treatment for older adults, improving heart health.
