Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is one of the complications most likely to lead
to death in patients with acute ischemic stroke. HT after acute ischemic stroke is diagnosed …

High blood pressure (BP) is common after ischemic stroke and associated with a poor
functional outcome and increased mortality. The conundrum then arises on whether to lower …

Importance The effects of moderate systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering after successful
recanalization with endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke are uncertain. Objective …

Hypertension is the most important modifiable cause of cardiovascular (CV) disease and all-
cause mortality worldwide. Despite the positive correlations between blood pressure (BP) …

Background and Objectives To explore the association between blood pressure (BP) levels
after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and the clinical outcomes of patients with acute …

Background and Purpose—Although higher blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated
with worse functional outcome after stroke, this association is not as well established in large …

Background and Purpose: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) measured
at an early time point is an appealing surrogate marker for long-term functional outcome of …

Objective Elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) after successful revascularization (SR) via
endovascular therapy (EVT) is a known predictor of poor outcome. However, the optimal …

Background: Elevated blood pressure after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been
associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation and poor functional …

Ischemic stroke remains the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Nurses play a
pivotal role in the care of patients throughout the continuum. With the advances in stroke …
