"What we have shown for the first time is that it does not really【C13】______what your blood pressure is; if you have had a stroke, then lowering blood pressure will produce large【C14】______,to begin with—even for people whose blood pressure is average or below average,"he said.
    McMahon said the Milan gathering had heralded(预示)the research as a " major breakthrough in the care of patients【C15】______strokes—perhaps the biggest step forward that we have made in the last couple of decades".
