Effect of Standard vs Intensive Blood #Pressure Control on the Risk of Recurrent #Stroke
The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) demonstrated that a systolic blood pressure (BP) target less than 120 mm Hg was superior to less than 140 mm Hg for preventing vascular events. This trial excluded patients with prior stroke; therefore, the ideal BP target for secondary stroke prevention remains unknown. ..Throughout the overall follow-up period, the mean BP was 133.2/77.7 (95% CI, 132.5-133.8/77.1-78.4) mm Hg … Continue reading Effect of Standard vs Intensive Blood #Pressure Control on the Risk of Recurrent #Stroke
