No impact? What about the SPRINT study ("Will lower blood pressure reduce the risk of heart and kidney diseases, stroke, or age-related declines in memory and thinking?" - 'largest study ever') was discontinued when it 'produced significant results' with the risk of death down by almost a quarter? I presume that blood pressure lowering was effected by drugs. Please clarify your comment because on the face of it (I have no expert knowledge, you may have) it seems to be quite wrong.
