Stephen McMahon, who presented the research at the Milan congress of the European Society of Hypertension, said about 50 million people were alive who had suffered at least one stroke. If most of those patients were able to get access to2 this treatment, it would result in3 maybe the avoidance of half a million strokes a year, the professor told Australias ABC Radio.
McMahon said doctors had long known that lowering the blood pressure of those with hypertension could help prevent strokes.What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really matter what your blood pressure is4;if you have had a stroke, then lowering blood pressure will produce large benefits, to begin with5even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average, he said.
McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded the research as a major breakthrough in the care of patients with strokes perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades.
