How does adjustment for antihypertensive medication affect the evaluation of stroke risk in the Framingham Study?
Adjusting for antihypertensive medication allows for better evaluation of stroke risk profiles.
Adjustment for antihypertensives refines stroke risk profiling in cohorts; leaves open effects on clinical decisions.
The stroke profile can be used for evaluation of the risk of stroke and suggestion of risk factor modification to reduce risk. The effect of antihypertensive therapy in the evaluation of stroke risk can now be better evaluated.
