As your blood pressure goes up, the risk of stroke goes up. Even when the top number (systolic) number goes from 100 to 130. Also, even if your blood pressure is ok -- in the 130 to 150 range -- the risk of stroke goes up when you start to add other medical conditions, such as diabetes or smoking. The left of the graph is the risk of stroke over 10 years and the bottom is blood pressure and associated conditions.
