Intensive blood pressure lowering after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage for secondary stroke prevention (RECAP-ICH): a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
The Lancet. Neurology·September 1, 2026·PMID 42586098
Why it mattersSecondary stroke prevention after intracerebral haemorrhage has lacked robust pooled evidence on the magnitude and timing of blood pressure-lowering benefits. This analysis provides high-certainty data that intensive control substantially reduces recurrent haemorrhage without excess serious adverse events, supporting its role as a cornerstone of long-term management.
