Control of hypertension is well established for the primary prevention of stroke. Prior studies, on the other hand, conflict over whether hypertension remains a risk factor for recurrent stroke and if blood pressure reduction is associated with better outcomes in this subset of patients. We review current evidence regarding the role of BP lowering for primary and secondary prevention of stroke. Current evidence amassed from both primary and secondary prevention trials demonstrate that BP reduction is a crucial common element in overall reduction of stroke risk.
控制高血压对预防中风具有明确的作用。另一方面，既往研究对于高血压是否仍是复发性中风的危险因素以及血压降低是否与该类患者的更好预后相关存在分歧。我们综述了当前关于降低血压在中风一级和二级预防中作用的证据。从一级和二级预防试验积累的现有证据表明，降低血压是总体降低中风风险的关键共同因素。
