Abstract

The Perindopril Protection against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) grew out of discussions at a World Health Organization/International Society of Hypertension (WHO-ISH) meeting on Hypertension and Cerebrovascular disease held in Nara, Japan, in May 1993 [1].At the time, there was broad consensus that the benefits of blood pressure (BP) lowering were established for the primary prevention of stroke [2], but there was a clear need for further randomised trials to determine the role and possible benefits of BP lowering for the secondary prevention of stroke in patients who had survived a previous stroke as this remained an open question.
