Scientists have discovered an unobvious precursor of stroke

Severe blood pressure drops may be associated with an increased likelihood of stroke and premature death. This conclusion was reached by scientists who presented the results of the study at the annual conference of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).

Experts studied the data of more than 57 thousand people, whose average age was 55 years. The participants were followed for about five years, regularly measuring their blood pressure. During this period, 571 people suffered stroke, another 1,460 died.

The most noticeable relationship was found with fluctuations in diastolic or lower pressure. In people with pronounced differences in this indicator, the risk of stroke was approximately 12% higher. Unstable blood pressure was also correlated with the probability of death, regardless of its mean value.

Particular attention was paid to people with type II diabetes, in which significant upper pressure drops were accompanied by a higher risk. The authors believe it may be useful for physicians to consider not only pressure readings, but also their change over time, stressing that the study found an association rather than proving a causal relationship.
