In conclusion, our model results suggest that controlling hypertension in untreated patients according to the 2014 guidelines not only would prevent about 56,000 cardiovascular events and 13,000 deaths from cardiovascular causes annually but also would result in cost savings. Among the groups that we considered, the treatment of men and women with cardiovascular disease and those with stage 2 hypertension without cardiovascular disease appeared to provide the most value, and the treatment of women under the age of 60 years with stage 1 hypertension appeared to provide the least value.
