Blood pressure control versus atrial fibrillation management in stroke prevention [PDF]
, 2015 Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for atrial fibrillation which in turn is the most prevalent concomitant condition in hypertensive patients. While both these pathological conditions are independent risk factors for stroke, the association of

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundOutcome in stroke trials is often based on a 3‐month modified Rankin scale (mRS). How 3‐month mRS relates to longer‐term outcomes will depend on late recovery, delayed stroke‐related deaths, recurrent strokes, and nonstroke deaths. We evaluated
