Drug compliance among hypertensive patients in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Secondary prevention of stroke with antihypertensive drugs is now standard practice, but it is unclear how soon after a cerebrovascular event antihypertensive therapy should be initiated or re-started. Due to impaired cerebral autoregulation, changes in systemic blood pressure may be reflected in cerebral pe...
