Progress in randomized controlled trials on strategies and effects of blood pressure intervention in populations with higher risk of stroke

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2026.01.003

Abstract

Abstract: Hypertension is one of the most prominent modifiable risk factors for stroke. Accurate blood pressure control can substantially reduce the incidence and mortality of stroke serves as the cornerstone of primary stroke prevention. This article systematically summarizes the evidence from randomized controlled trials relating to blood pressure interventions in populations with higher risk of stroke, with a focus on two core implementations: intensive blood pressure lowering and remote blood pressure monitoring with wearable devices. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the impacts of different intervention measures on blood pressure control and stroke risk, this article aims to provide evidence-based basis and practical references for primary medical institutions to carry out primary stroke prevention among populations with higher risks.

Key words: randomized controlled trial, hypertension, stroke, high-risk population, blood pressure intervention, blood pressure monitoring
