AB Although physicians have long subscribed to the fear that using intensive methods to lower the blood pressure of patients who had suffered acute intracerebral hemorrhage would result in increased risk of death or neurological deterioration, the technique is safe and effective, and should become the standard of care, according to results of the Second Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage Trial [INTERACT2; NCT00716079; Anderson CS et al.
