Association between angiotensin receptor blocker therapy and acute seizures in patients with stroke.

Background And Purpose: There are some new results that the angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) therapy may associate with a lower risk of epilepsy. However, its pathomechanism and the patient characteristics are lacking. We asses, whether ARB therapy is associates with lower incidence of acute symptomatic seizures, compared with no ARB therapy in patients with acute stroke.
