Even slightly above-normal blood pressure may cause stroke

Elevated blood pressure is a common cause for stroke. A recent study shows that people with slightly above-normal blood pressure are at increased risk of stroke. The condition known as pre-hypertension can cause stroke in young people.
The findings result from 12 studies with an impressive sample size consisting of 518,520 participants. Read the original paper here doi:10.1212/WNL.0b013e3182315234.
It is needless to say that normalizing the lifestyle and adopting a balanced approach to life can greatly help reduce high blood pressure and associated life threatening risks.
