Effect of Intensive Versus Standard Blood Pressure Control on Stroke Subtypes
Extracted findings (3)
Intensive blood pressure control targeting systolic BP <120 mmHg did not significantly reduce total stroke incidence compared to standard control targeting <140 mmHg over mean 3.33 years follow-up in
Effect: null; 69 vs 78 strokes
Intensive blood pressure control resulted in similar numbers of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke subtypes compared to standard control in SPRINT, with no subtype showing a statistically significant tre
Effect: null; Hemorrhagic: 6 vs 7; LAA: 11 vs 13; CE: 11 vs 15; SAO: 8 vs 8
Among SPRINT participants without prior cardiovascular disease, fewer strokes occurred in the intensive BP control arm than the standard arm (43 vs 61), but the difference did not reach the pre-define
Effect: null; 43 vs 61 strokes (p=0.09)
