Impaired perfusion modifies the relationship between blood pressure and stroke risk in major cerebral artery disease
Conclusions
Impaired perfusion modified the relationship between blood pressure and stroke risk, although this study had limitations including the retrospective analysis, the potentially biased sample, the small number of critical events and the fact that BP was measured only as a snapshot in clinic.
