Abstract:

The Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study was designed to clarify the role of intervention to lower blood pressure after stroke. Its aim was to determine the effect of long-term treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-based blood pressure lowering regimen in patients with a history of non-disabling stroke. A series of publications have reported the design and both main and subsidiary analyses of the Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study trial. This article will provide an overview of the trial and draw together the results of previously-published primary, secondary and subgroup analyses.
