Abstract
Despite effective treatments, hypertension remains a leading risk factor of any stroke, stroke recurrence, and vascular cognitive impairment. Hypertension is underdiagnosed and undertreated, both in the primary and secondary prevention setting. The current issue of Stroke includes a Focused Update series of 6 review articles covering differing aspects of hypertension and cerebrovascular disease. Traditionally, the goal of antihypertensive treatment has been risk reduction through reaching defined targets, a "one-size-fits-all" approach, both in the acute stroke and in secondary prevention. In this series, there is a shift toward a more individualized approach to blood pressure management in patients suffering from stroke or vascular cognitive impairment, taking several factors in addition to a defined target into account.
