Description
Bizhong Che and colleagues drew in 2026 on a Xinjiang registry to link admission blood pressure with stroke in patients hospitalized for atrial fibrillation. Guidelines argue over two treatment thresholds, leaving the risk gradient unclear. Their analysis covered 25,638 patients admitted over fifteen years at one large hospital.
Against the lowest pressure group, the odds of stroke rose stepwise through each higher band. The top band, at or above 180 over 110, carried odds about three quarters higher again. Flexible curve models confirmed straight-line dose responses for both systolic and diastolic pressure. Extra checks across subgroups and sensitivity runs told the same story. Adding pressure to standard risk factors improved prediction. The authors press for firm pressure control as a stroke shield in this rhythm disorder.
