Aim: To describe hypertension prevalence (HTN) in a race diverse stroke registry and investigate associated presentation patients admitted for acute ischemic (AIS) hemorrhagic Florida hospitals participating the Collaboration to Reduce Stroke Disparities (CReSD). Background: HTN affects about 30% of U.S. adults this doubles among survivors. is major risk factor incident stoke recurrent stroke. Quantifying survivors important guide secondary prevention. Methods: 121,333 cases were analyzed from 69 FL AHA Get With Guidelines-Stroke Program CReSD Registry. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure >140mmHg. Demographics CV factors collected at admission. We investigated differences between groups: white (65%), black (20%) Hispanic (15%) well age 18-60, 61-80 >80 years old. Temporal trends also 2010 2016. Results: In our population, mean 70±15 60,667 women (50%). 65% (78,553/121,333). Patients with significantly older (mean 72±14 vs. 67±16 non-HTN patients) presented higher other such diabetes, hyperlipidemia had more previous stroke/TIAs. Women greater (66% 64% males) all groups. Greater blacks (70%) compared (64%) Hispanics (58%) Interestingly, found AIS but SBP observed strokes AIS. Prevalence decreased 8% Largest decline (9%) (13%). Conclusions: large Registry we women, observe decreasing trend over past 7 years, especially minorities (blacks Hispanics). These findings provide an opportunity design implement interventions reduce disparities improve outcome.
