Frequency of antihypertensive drug use for secondary prevention following acute ischemic stroke in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry. The use of antihypertensive drugs, including CCBs, ACE-Is, ARBs, diuretics, and β-blockers, at discharge following acute ischemic stroke from 1999 to 2019 in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry, a multicenter prospective registry of patients with acute stroke in Japan. The frequency is shown according to the subtypes of ischemic stroke: A cardioembolic stroke (n = 5224), B atherothrombotic brain infarction (ATBI) (n = 4352), and C lacunar infarction (n = 4921). CCB calcium channel blocker, ACE-I angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB angiotensin II receptor blocker
