Abstract

The incidence of stroke in a group of 499 treated hypertensive patients was closely related to the adequacy of control of hypertension. This trend was independent of the level of diastolic blood pressure at presentation, and differed markedly from the incidence of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris which did not vary with adequacy of control.
