Factors such as dietary adherence and chronic kidney disease were associated with better adherence, while alcohol consumption was inversely related to blood pressure control.
The study found that antihypertensive drugs effectively lowered blood pressure, with significant reductions in systolic and diastolic BP observed across various baseline BP values, ages, and patient characteristics. More intense treatment resulted in greater reductions compared to less intense treatment and placebo.
The study highlights the importance of adhering to clinical practice guidelines for antihypertensive treatment post-stroke, which can significantly reduce the risk of recurrent strokes and improve overall patient outcomes. However, it notes that adherence rates are below the quality standard of 85%.
MCAv remained above baseline during the HIIE session and returned to near baseline values 30 minutes after exercise, indicating a maintained cerebral blood flow during the exercise.
Improved adherence to blood pressure-lowering medications is associated with better blood pressure control, reduced risk of complications such as stroke and heart disease, and overall improved health outcomes for individuals with hypertension.
The study found that pharmacogenomic testing led to significant improvements in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after one year, particularly in patients with actionable genotypes. SBP improved by an average of 14.8 mmHg and DBP by 8.4 mmHg in those with uncontrolled hypertension and actionable genotypes.
