What are the benefits of blood pressure-lowering treatment for people with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack?
Evidence from the Cochrane Database Syst Rev and the PROGRESS Collaborative Group suggests that blood pressure-lowering treatment can help people with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack by reducing the risk of recurrent stroke, major vascular events, and dementia. Additionally, the MOSES Study Group found that this treatment could reduce morbidity and mortality after stroke. Furthermore, the TEMPiS trial found that it was associated with improved survival, functional outcome, and stroke recurrence.
