Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Should Blood Pressure Targets After Lacunar Stroke Vary by Body Size? The SPS3 Trial.
It is unknown whether the physiological impact of a given blood pressure (BP) varies by body size. We explored interactions between higher vs. lower systolic BP (SBP) targets and anthropometric measures (body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), height, weight) and recurrent stroke and death in the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes (SPS3) Trial. ⋯ Trial Number NCT00059306.
