  "summary_technical": "Scope page, not a clinical statement. The first evidence tied to it is an individual-participant meta-analysis of 48 randomised trials (BPLTTC, Lancet 2021). That paper defines a major cardiovascular event as a composite of fatal or non-fatal stroke, fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction or ischaemic heart disease, or heart failure causing death or requiring admission to hospital. Blood pressure lowering medicine links to this topic through a claim that records the hazard ratios per 5 mm Hg systolic reduction.",
