Systolic blood pressure and mortality.
BACKGROUND The current systolic blood-pressure threshold for hypertension treatment is 140 mm Hg for all adults. WHO and the International Society of Hypertension have proposed that normal pressure be lower than 130 mm Hg, with an optimum pressure of less than 120 mm Hg. These recommendations are based largely on the assumption that cardiovascular and overall mortality depend in a strictly incr...
متن کاملSystolic blood pressure and mortality after stroke: too low, no go?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies suggest a J-shaped association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cardiovascular events. The optimal SBP target after stroke remains unknown. We assessed the link between SBP and mortality after stroke. METHODS We included adults (≥20 years) with self-reported stroke who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1998 to ...
متن کاملSystolic Blood Pressure Control and Mortality After Stroke in Hypertensive Patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypertensive patients with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy are at increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death. Lowering blood pressure (BP) after stroke reduces the risk of recurrent stroke, but recent data suggest that lower systolic BP (SBP) measured 5 years after stroke is associated with increased mortality. Whether lower SBP is associated w...
متن کاملRelation between blood pressure and stroke mortality.
The relation between stroke mortality and blood pressure was investigated in 10,186 hypertensive patients followed up in the Department of Health Hypertension Care Computing Project for an average of 9 years. An untreated blood pressure measurement was available in 3,472 men and 3,405 women. The age-adjusted risk of stroke death increased by 1% for every 1 mm Hg increase in untreated systolic b...
متن کاملAssociation of blood pressure indices and stroke mortality in isolated systolic hypertension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), systolic blood pressure (BP) > or =160 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) <90 mm Hg, is associated with stroke; however, the correlation between specific BP indices and stroke mortality in ISH is not defined. METHODS In a pooled analysis of 9 epidemiological studies, we examined whether pulse pressure (PP) was more predictive of stroke mo...
