The current guidelines for managing hypertension recommend strict blood pressure (BP) control to prevent bleeding complications in patients with hypertension on antithrombotic therapy. However, the target BP value of <130/80 mmHg is achieved in a small proportion of these patients. This study aimed to examine the factors associated with nonachievement of target BP value (≥130/80 mmHg) in patients on antithrombotic therapy.
