Patients with even slightly high blood pressure 'at increased risk of stroke' - Medical News Today: The researchers found that individuals with prehypertension were 66% more likely to have a stroke than those who had normal blood pressure, and almost 20% of strokes that occurred in the study population were in those with prehypertension.
These results remained even after the team adjusted for factors that may increase stroke risk, including smoking, diabetes and high cholesterol.
