Hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke. Although the mechanisms by which increased blood pressure causes stroke are poorly understood, one hypothesis has come to dominate research and practice - that each of us has an underlying "usual" BP, which is the main determinant of BP...

Across the board, high blood pressure was the most important factor,accountingfor one-third of all stroke risk. Blood pressure, it wasnoted, plays amajorrole in both forms of stroke:ischemic, the mostcommonform (caused byblockageof a brain blood vessel), andhemorrhagicor bleeding stroke, in ...
High blood pressure is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor for stroke. Observational and interventional studies have shown that lowering blood pressure with drugs, even in normotensive high-risk patients, may achieve effective primary stroke prevention. Uncertainties remain concerning the optimal blood...

Uncertainty persists regarding the need to address blood pressure (BP) variability in the general population to reduce the heavy burden of stroke. In this cohort study, we prospectively recruited 57,927 participants from southeast of Beijing, who have co
The harder hypertension is to control, the higher the risk for stroke, even if the treatment is successful. Howard says the risk of stroke went up 33 percent with each blood pressure medicine required to treat blood pressure to goal. Compared to people withsystolic blood pressurebelow 120 mm ...
摘要: To the Editor: Dr Silvestrini and colleagues1 reported a positive association between cerebralvasoreactivity and risk of stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid arterystenosis of at least 70%. Previously, stroke risk has been thought to increaselinearly with increasing blood pressure......
People 60 or older, especially minorities and women, have a lower risk of stroke if the top number (systolic) in their blood pressure is below 140 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), according to a study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2015. A ...
