Global and Regional Burden of Stroke: 1990–2010
- 119 studies published from 1990-2012
- From 1990 to 2010, the age-standardized incidence of
stroke decreased 12% and stroke mortality decreased by 37% in high-income countries
- In low/middle income countries, stroke incidence increased
by 12% (p=NS) and stroke mortality decreased by 20%
- In 2010, first stroke (17 million), stroke survivors (33
million), stroke-related deaths (6 million), and DALYs lost (102 million) were high and had significantly increased since 1990 (68%, 84%, 26%, and 12% respectively)
- most of the burden (69% incident strokes, 52% prevalent
strokes, 71% stroke deaths, and 78% DALYs lost) was in low/middle-income countries

Long-Term Outcome After TIA or Minor Stroke
- 2,473 Dutch patients with TIA or minor ischemic stroke
followed for a mean of 10.1 years
- 1489 (60%) patients died and 1336 (54%) had at least one
vascular event
- 10-year risk of death was 42·7% (95% CI 40·8–44·7)

ACCORD BP Trial
- 4,733 patients with type 2 diabetes randomized to
intensive (<120 mmHg) or standard (<140 mmHg) BP therapy and followed for 4.7 years
- Any antihypertensive therapy permitted
- Primary outcome: nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, CV death

ACCORD BP Trial
- 4,733 patients with type 2 diabetes randomized to
intensive (<120 mmHg) or standard (<140 mmHg) BP therapy and followed for 4.7 years
- Any antihypertensive therapy permitted
- Primary outcome: nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, CV death
- More adverse events attributed to BP therapy in
aggressively treated group (dizziness, syncope, K+, K+)
- lower eGFR at end of study (74.8±25.0 vs 80.6±24.8 ml/
min/1.73 m2, p<0.001) in aggressively treated group

SPRINT (Systolic BP Intervention Trial)
- 9,361 patients with systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg at increased
CV risk without diabetes were randomized to intensive treatment of systolic BP (target <120 mm Hg) or standard treatment (target <140 mm Hg)
- mean age 67.9 years, 36% women, 32% African
American, 20% with CVD, 28% with CKD, 13% current smokers, no BP meds 9%, mean BP meds/pt 1.8
- mean BP at baseline: 139.7/78.2 mm Hg
- primary composite outcome was MI, other ACS, stroke,
heart failure, or CV death
- trial stopped early after 3.26 years due to benefit in the
intensive treatment group

SPRINT: Conclusions
- Among patients at high risk for CV events but
without diabetes, targeting a systolic BP <120 mm Hg, as compared with <140 mm Hg, resulted in lower rates of fatal and nonfatal major CV events and death from any cause, although significantly higher rates of some adverse events were observed in the intensive-treatment group

What Did We Learn From These Trials?
ACCORD
lowering BP aggressively in diabetics did not reduce CV events (except stroke) but increased serious adverse effects
SPRINT
lowering BP aggressively in non-diabetics reduced CV events by 25% and mortality by 27%
ASCOT-LLA
lowering LDL-C with atorvastatin in hypertensive patients with other RF’s reduced CV events by 36% and stroke by 27%
HOPE-3
lowering LDL-C with rosuvastatin reduced CV events in patients at intermediate risk; BP lowering only effective in highest BP tercile
SPARCL
lowering LDL-C with atorvastatin reduced cerebrovascular and coronary events in patients with stroke or TIA

Who to Treat: US Guidelines
Stone NJ, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013 Nov 7. Epub ahead of print
JNC8 Summary Recommendations
- In subjects aged ≥60 years, initiate pharmacologic Rx
to lower BP at SBP ≥150 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <150 and DBP <90 mm Hg (A)
- In subjects <60 years, initiate pharmacologic Rx to
lower BP at SBP ≥140 or DBP ≥90 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <140 and DBP <90 mm Hg (E)
- In adults with CKD, initiate pharmacologic Rx to lower
BP at SBP ≥140 or DBP ≥90 mm Hg and treat to goal SBP <140 and goal DBP <90 mm Hg (E)
- In adults with diabetes, initiate pharmacologic Rx to
lower BP at SBP ≥140 or DBP ≥90 mm Hg and treat to a goal SBP <140 and goal DBP <90 mm Hg (E)
James PA et al, JAMA 2014;311:507
JNC8 Summary Recommendations (2)
- In nonblack subjects, including diabetics, initial Rx
should include a thiazide-type diuretic, CCB, ACEI, or ARB (B)
- In black subjects, including diabetics, initial Rx should
include a thiazide-type diuretic or CCB (B,C)
- In adults with CKD, initial or add-on Rx should include
an ACEI or ARB to improve kidney outcomes (B)
- The main objective of BP Rx is to attain and maintain
goal BP. If goal BP is not reached within a month, increase the dose of the initial drug or add a 2nd drug. Continue to assess BP and adjust Rx until goal BP is reached (E)

Conclusions
- Stroke is common worldwide, often devastating,
carries a poor prognosis, and is preventable
- Hypertension is the #1 risk factor for stroke
- The SPRINT trial suggests that lowering BP
more aggressively will improve outcomes
- Following JNC8 and new lipid guidelines will
lead to a reduction in first and recurrent strokes
- The JNC8 BP goal is <140/90 except for those ≥
60 years old where it is <150/90 mm Hg
- High-intensity statin therapy is recommended
