Blood pressure (BP) is elevated in 75% or more of patients with acute stroke and is
associated with poor outcomes. Whether to modulate BP in acute stroke has long been …

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 Uncertainty persists over the effects of blood pressure lowering in acute
intracerebral haemorrhage. We aimed to combine individual patient-level data from the two …

Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a potentially devastating condition with
elevated early mortality rates, poor functional outcomes, and high costs of care. Standard of …

Importance Ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion can be treated with alteplase and/or
endovascular therapy; however, the administration of each treatment is time sensitive …

Stroke as a cause of long-term disability is a growing public health burden. Therefore,
focusing on prevention is important. The most prominent aim of this strategy is to treat …

Objective: The aim of this study was to better define the shape of association between the
degree (“magnitude”) of early (< 1 h) reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and …

Background and Purpose: In thrombolysis-eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke, there
is uncertainty over the most appropriate systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering profile that …

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common neurological condition that causes severe
disability and even death. Even though the mechanism is not clear, increasing evidence …
