Hypertension and stroke Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, and stroke prevention is the most important achievement of modern antihypertensive treatment. In controlled trials, a few years of this treatment can eliminate the entire excess stroke risk associated with hypertension. In observational studies, stroke risk appears to be not always fully reversible when the blood pressure is lowered with drugs. Hypertension is associated with an increased incidence of both haemorrhagic…

The ACCESS study was designed to evaluate the possible benefits of a careful and moderate, but immediate blood pressure reduction in patients with an acute stroke compared to a restrictive antihypertensive therapy.

The results emphasise the need for proper 24-h control of bp and by comparison to other antihypertensive agents, the long acting calcium blockers with these subjects may prevent a sudden early morning rise in bp, which is instrumental in stroke prevention.

Future therapeutic efforts should concentrate on the prevention of atherothrombotic and cardioembolic strokes, and refinement of surgical techniques, pharmacologic approaches aimed at plaque stabilization, and the application of transesophageal echocardiography for the diagnosis of embolic strokes are promising.

There has been a longstanding controversy about whether high blood pressure should be treated in the setting of acute stroke for fear of exacerbating stroke by reducing perfusion pressure and thereby reducing flow in the compromised but viable ischemic penumbra.
