Consistency of Blood Pressure Control After Ischemic Stroke: Prevalence and Prognosis [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— In this rigorous clinical trial, fewer than one third of patients with stroke had BP controlled ≥75% of the time for 2 years. Furthermore, consistency of BP control among those with elevated baseline systolic BP was linked to reduction in risk of recurrent stroke and stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death.
