Blood pressure components and stroke in Inner Mongolians — A prospective cohort study
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the second-leading cause of death in the world [1]. It is becoming an ever-increasing public health burden in China [2]. There is a strong association between both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and stroke, but even in cases of normal BP stroke can still occur [3]. This indicates that other risk factors and BP components other than SBP or DBP may play a role in the development of stroke. In addition to SBP and DBP, BP is also characterized by pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP).

Hypertension and elevated C-reactive protein: Future risk of ischemic stroke in a prospective cohort study among inner Mongolians in China
Hypertension and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been investigated extensively in regard to risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease in population. However, few studies have paid an attention to the cumulative effect of hypertension and CRP on the development of ischemic stroke, and there are no published studies regarding cumulative effect of hypertension and CRP on the ischemic stroke incidence in an Inner Mongolian population. The purpose of present study is to assess the association between hypertension, CRP and the future risk of ischemic stroke, and the potential role of CRP to enhance risk prediction of ischemic stro...
