Program to Avoid Cerebrovascular Events Through Systematic Electronic Tracking and Tailoring of an Eminent Risk-factor

Program to Avoid Cerebrovascular Events through Systematic Electronic Tracking and Tailoring
of an Eminent Risk-factor (PACESETTER) aims to assess the incorporation of its stroke
intervention into all 3 safety net/academic health sytems in a given US state especially
burdened by stroke, thereby enhancing knowledge about the complexity of stroke interventions,
and especially the nature of the challenges encountered in low resource settings and for
populations traditionally underrepresented in research. Altogether, the intervention, if
proven implementable and effective, may eventually be exported to other medically underserved
populations in the US beyond SC as a feasible model of post-stroke management.

Inclusion Criteria:

- recent history of stroke (within one month of symptom onset)

- uncontrolled HTN (SBP ≥ 140 &/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg at the last clinical encounter
post-stroke prior to recruitment).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any condition that would limit participation in follow up assessments, severe
cognitive impairment/dementia (MMSE ≤24)

- severe global disability (modified Rankin Score ≥ 3)
