Background And Purpose
The efficacy of antihypertensive (AH) treatment after stroke has been investigated in several randomized clinical trials. However, non-adherence to AH medication is common for stroke patients in "real world" setting. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of persistence with AH agents on ischemic stroke (IS) outcomes.
