Blood Pressure Medicines for Five Years to Prevent Death, Heart Attacks, and Strokes. https://www.thennt.com/nnt/anti-hypertensives-to-prevent-death-heart-attacks-and-strokes/

NNT is SPRINT: In participants assigned to intensive BP lowering, major adverse cardiovascular events were reduced by 25% (5.2% v. 6.8%; hazard ratio [HR] 0.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64–0.89; number needed to treat [NNT] of 62 over 3 yr) and all-cause mortality was reduced by 27% (3.3% v. 4.5%; HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.60–0.90; NNT of 90 over 3 yr).

NNT is highly misleading when assessing chronic disease prevention. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25027390
