There is a recent study that looked at the effects of lowering blood pressure. This study was supposed to last a lot longer but was concluded early because the results were so obvious and amazing.

The four year study found that by lowering the blood pressure to an average of 150/61 the patients suffered an overall drop in mortality rates. Specifically, there was a 23% reduction in the death rate from cardiovascular events, a 30% reduction in stroke rate, a 39% reduction in death from stroke, 21% reduction in overall mortality and an astounding 64% reduction in death rate from heart failure.
