Should Blood Pressure Targets After Lacunar Stroke Vary by Body Size? The SPS3 Trial.

CONCLUSIONS: We found no interactions between BP target groups and quartiles of anthropometrics for rates of stroke and death in SPS3. There is no evidence at this time supporting body size-based modifications to current BP targets for secondary prevention after lacunar stroke. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: Trial Number NCT00059306.
