Reduced blood pressure variability in ASCOT-BPLA trial favours use of amlodipine/perindopril combination to reduce stroke risk.
Lower within-individual visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure readings in the amlodipine/perindopril combination treatment arm of the ASCOT study has been shown to account for the more effective stroke reduction rate with this combination compared to atenolol and diuretic-based therapies, despite overall similar blood pressure lowering.
