[Comment] An optimum blood pressure target after lacunar stroke?

Sustained lowering of blood pressure by 10 mm Hg systolic and 5 mm Hg diastolic lessens the risk of recurrent stroke by about one-third (relative risk 0·66, 95% CI 0·56–0·79). The blood-pressure range within which the association with stroke risk remains linear, however, is uncertain.
