ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Subclinical brain infarcts (SBI) increase the risk for stroke and dementia, but whether they should be considered equivalent to symptomatic stroke when determining blood pressure targets remains unclear. We tested whether intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) treatment reduced the risk of new SBI or stroke and determined the association between SBI and cognitive impairment.

METHODS:

In this secondary analysis of SPRINT (Systolic Pressure Intervention Trial), participants ≥50 years old, with SBP 130-180mmHg and elevated cardiovascular risk but without known clinical stroke, dementia, or diabetes, were randomized to intensive (<120mmHg) or standard (<140mmHg) SBP treatment. Brain magnetic resonance images collected at baseline and follow-up were read for SBI. The occurrence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or probable dementia (PD) was evaluated.

RESULTS:

For 667 participants at baseline, SBI were identified in 75 (11%). At median 3.9 years follow-up, 12 of 457 had new SBI on magnetic resonance imaging (5 intensive, 7 standard), whereas 8 had clinical stroke (4 per group). Baseline SBI (subhazard ratio [sHR] = 3.90; 95% CI 1.49 to 10.24; p = 0.006), but not treatment group, was associated with new SBI or stroke. For participants with baseline SBI, intensive treatment reduced their risk for recurrent SBI or stroke (sHR = 0.050; 95% CI 0.0031 to 0.79; p = 0.033). Baseline SBI also increased risk for MCI or PD during follow-up (sHR = 2.38; 95% CI 1.23 to 4.61; p = 0.010).

INTERPRETATION:

New cerebral ischemic events were infrequent, but intensive treatment mitigated the increased risk for participants with baseline SBI, indicating primary prevention SBP goals are still appropriate when SBI are present. ANN NEUROL 2024;95866-875.
