Hypertension treatment in stroke

Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality worldwide and the third most common cause of disability. Arterial hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for stroke. A precise management of arterial hypertension prevents the first episode of stroke as well as its recurrence. A rapid blood pressure lowering is not recommended in the acute phase of stroke. Blood pressure goals in chronic treatment are 140/90 mm Hg and lower, if tolerated. ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers in combination with calcium channel blockers or indapamide are the preferred antihypertensive drugs.

Keywords: arterial hypertension, stroke, antihypertensive drugs.
