Overview
Primary and secondary prevention measures significantly reduce the risk of stroke. Hypertension is its most important risk factor. A slight decrease in systolic-diastolic blood pressure results in a 42% decrease in the incidence of stroke. Antihypertensive therapy reduces the likelihood of relapse in patients who have already had a stroke, including those whose blood pressure is considered normal. Evidence supporting such treatment was obtained primarily for the combination of an ACE inhibitor with a diuretic. The use of angiotensin II receptor blocker in a small dose has turned out to be safe.
