The fluctuation of blood pressure is easy to cause stroke

High blood pressure is one of the reasons for stroke, however, the latest report by British scientists shows that, compared to high blood pressure alone, the fluctuation of blood pressure is dangerous. more and more likely to cause stroke.

Therefore, scientists recommend that during the treatment of high blood pressure, not only focus on lowering blood pressure but more importantly need to consider the stability of blood pressure.

In the report published in the latest issue of The Lancet, scientists from Oxford University, UK, reported that the results of routine blood pressure analysis of patients at some hospitals in the UK showed that Blood pressure fluctuations are one of the most persuasive indicators of stroke, heart failure and heart attack.

Especially for stroke, fluctuations in blood pressure causing stroke have a higher rate than just high blood pressure. Therefore, the efficacy in predicting stroke by observing blood pressure fluctuations is much more accurate than observing high blood pressure alone.

In addition, after analyzing some of the effects of antihypertensive drugs, scientists discovered that, besides the function of lowering blood pressure, drugs have different effects on blood pressure fluctuations. Some drugs work both to lower blood pressure and minimize blood pressure fluctuations, but others increase blood pressure fluctuations.

The findings have shown a close relationship between the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs and the prevention of stroke.
