Key result
Poor hypertension control and prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy were significantly associated with stroke mortality rates across Spanish autonomic communities (P<0.05).
Cross-Sectional (n=7,343)
Yes
Effect estimate: P=-0.42
p-value: p=<0.05
Differences in stroke mortality across Spain are associated with poor blood pressure control and high prevalence of left-ventricular hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Regional stroke mortality gaps may reflect hypertension control; leaves open causality in cross-sectional data.
Redón et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk factors and stroke (n=7,343). Poor hypertension control and left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on Stroke mortality rates (P=-0.42, p=<0.05). Poor hypertension control and prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy were significantly associated with stroke mortality rates across Spanish autonomic communities (P<0.05).
