Ana Catarina Fonseca: The Persistent Gaps in Blood Pressure Guideline Achievement After Stroke
Ana Catarina Fonseca, Member of Scientific Advisory Group on Neurology at European Medicines Agency, Associate Editor – Cerebrovascular Diseases at Karger Publishers, Member Board of Directors at European Stroke Organisation, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in European Stroke Journal, adding:
”In a large contemporary secondary stroke prevention trial, over one-third of participants did not achieve less-stringent pre-2022 BP guideline targets, and 70% did not achieve current ESO guideline targets.
New approaches are needed to improve guideline implementation in practice.”
