Why the study?
Do lifestyle interventions prevent cardiovascular events after stroke and transient ischemic attack?
Do lifestyle interventions prevent cardiovascular events after stroke and transient ischemic attack?
Lifestyle interventions after stroke or TIA lower systolic blood pressure but do not significantly reduce cardiovascular mortality.
Lifestyle interventions post-stroke lower systolic BP without reducing events or mortality; challenges assumptions from general populations and warrants targeted outcome trials.
We found that lifestyle interventions are effective in lowering systolic blood pressure. About other end points, this systematic review found no effect of lifestyle interventions on cardiovascular event rate mortality, diastolic blood pressure, or total cholesterol.
