Abstract P119: Hypertension Trends in Florida Stroke Patients. The Florida Puerto Rico Collaboration to Reduce Stroke Disparities [Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception]

Conclusions: In our large Stroke Registry we observed higher prevalence of HTN in women, blacks and AIS. We also observe a decreasing trend over the past 7 years, especially among women and minorities (blacks and Hispanics). These findings provide an opportunity to design and implement interventions to reduce disparities in HTN and improve stroke outcome.
