Diastolic blood pressure levels and ischemic stroke incidence in older adults with white matter lesions.
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2011; (1): 74-81
The optimal blood pressure level to minimize the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in older adults is undetermined. Cerebral white matter lesions (WML), prevalent in older adults, may be a marker for vulnerability to IS. We aimed at determining the relationship between diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels and IS in the presence of WML.
