Effects of candesartan in acute stroke on activities of daily living and level of care at 6 months

Conclusion: Blood pressure-lowering treatment with candesartan had no beneficial effect on activities of daily living and level of care at 6 months. This result is compatible with the results of the main analysis of the modified Rankin scale, and supports the conclusion that there is no indication for routine blood pressure treatment with candesartan in the acute phase of stroke.
