What are ideal BP levels to prevent repeat strokes, heart attacks?



People with diabetes who have a stroke, there may be an ideal target blood sugar range to lower the risk of different types of vascular diseases like a stroke or heart attack later on, finds a new study.The study found that people admitted to the hospital with A1C levels — a test to determine average blood sugar level — above the 6.8 per cent to 7 per cent range had an increased risk of having a vascular event like a heart attack, as well as having another stroke.”We know that having diabetes may be associated with an increased risk of having a first stroke,” said researcher Moon-Ku Han from Seoul National University College of Medicine in Korea.”But our results indicate that there is an optimal blood sugar level that may start to minimise the risk of having another stroke, a heart attack or other vascular problems and it’s right in the 6.8 per cent to 7 per cent range,” Han added.
