We studied the relationship of blood pressure (BP) trajectories during the first seven days after symptom onset with short- and long-term major clinical outcomes among patients with acute ischemic stroke. A total of 4,036 patients with acute ischemic stroke and elevated systolic BP from the CATIS trial were included in this analysis. Three BPs were measured every 2 hours for the first 24 hours, every 4 hours during the second and third days, and every 8 hours thereafter for the remainder of the seven days. Latent class models were used to identify subgroups that share a similar underlying trajectory in BP in the acute phase. Five systolic BP trajectories of high, high-to-moderate low, moderate high, moderate low, and low were identified. Compared to the high trajectory, multiple-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of death and major disability at 3 months for high-to-moderate low, moderate high, moderate low, and low trajectories were 0.61 (0.44 to 0.86), 0.63 (0.48 to 0.84), 0.49 (0.37 to 0.65), and 0.42 (0.30 to 0.59), respectively (overall p<0.0001). Likewise, the corresponding multiple-adjusted odds ratios at 2 years were 0.64 (0.46 to 0.90), 0.78 (0.59 to 1.04), 0.49 (0.37 to 0.66), and 0.49 (0.34 to 0.69), respectively (overall p<0.0001). These data indicate that individuals with a consistently high systolic BP during the acute phase of ischemic stroke had the highest risk of short- and long-term death and major disability. In addition, moderate systolic BP reduction to below 140 mmHg from higher levels lowers risk of short- and long-term death and major disability.

Introduction: Observational studies have reported that a decrease in blood pressure (BP) within the first several days after stroke onset was associated with poorer, better, or no difference in adverse clinical outcomes among patients with acute ischemic stroke. Hypothesis: We investigated the association of immediate BP lowering in acute ischemic stroke patients with major clinical outcomes at 14 days or hospital discharge and at a 3 month follow-up visit. Methods: CATIS is a randomized clinical trial conducted in 4,071 Chinese patients with ischemic stroke within 48 hours of onset and elevated systolic BP (SBP). Patients were randomly assigned to receive antihypertensive treatment or control. The primary outcome was a combination of death and major disability (a modified Rankin score ≥3) at 14 days or hospital discharge or at the 3 month follow-up visit. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for baseline age, gender, SBP, NIHSS score, time of stroke onset, history of antihypertensive treatment, and intervention assignment. Results: Compared to patients with a >0-10% reduction in systolic BP within the first 24 hours after admission, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]) for patients with ≤0%, 11-20%, and ≥21% reduction in SBP were 1.40 (1.08, 1.82), 1.00 (0.81, 1.23), and 0.98 (0.73, 1.30) at 14 days or hospital discharge; and 1.31 (1.00, 1.71), 0.82 (0.66, 1.02), and 0.78 (0.58, 1.05) at 3 months follow-up. Compared to patients with a BP 130-139/85-89 mmHg at 7 days after admission, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for patents with BP <130/85, 140-159/90-99, and ≥160/100 mmHg were 1.07 (0.82, 1.38), 1.09 (0.89, 1.34), and 1.58 (1.18, 2.11) at 14 days or hospital discharge, and 0.89 (0.67, 1.17), 1.10 (0.89, 1.36), and 1.50 (1.11, 2.03) at 3 months follow-up, respectively. Conclusions: These data indicate that a lack of BP reduction in the first 24 hours of hospitalization and higher BP levels at 7 days after admission predict increased risk of death and major disability at 14 days or hospital discharge and at 3 months follow-up.

Background: Hypertension is considered major risk factor for incidence of ischemic stroke, controlling blood pressure reduces this risk, the relationship of uncontrolled blood pressure and stroke outcomes is complex, post stroke uncontrolled blood pressure remains one of the major contributing factors for stroke recurrence and mortality, in our study we studied the long term effects of uncontrolled hypertension in modern health care setting. Methodology: Patients in the study were admitted to the neurology department at KFSH-D between March 2015- August 2019, we included 102 acute ischemic stroke patients whom had hypertension, all patients had follow up appointments at stroke clinic a minimum of 2 visits over 4 years. We retrospectively compared blood pressure data from stroke patients with recurrent ischemic stroke events vs. patients with initial stroke event, and recurrent stroke, also we studied blood pressure readings for different stroke severity groups, patients who had severe stroke with mRS>4, compared to milder stroke group of mRS<4. Results: We found 48 patients identified with recurrent stroke event, those with uncontrolled hypertension had significantly higher stroke recurrence events (P=0.002), despite acute stroke treatment, patients who had history of uncontrolled hypertension were found to have more severe stroke deficits than those who had controlled blood pressure (P=0.029). We found significant difference in the long term stroke clinical outcomes between patients who had uncontrolled blood pressure and patients who had controlled blood pressure recordings within the same hospital setting (P=0.064). Conclusion: Based on our findings, uncontrolled hypertension was associated with higher risk of stroke recurrence, it also increased susceptibility to worse stroke clinical outcomes up to 1 year after initial stroke event, which deserved further close attention and better blood pressure control.

Background and Purpose: Optimal blood pressure (BP) targets before endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke are unknown. We aimed to assess the relation between admission BP and clinical outcomes and successful reperfusion after EVT. Methods: We used data from the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands) Registry, an observational, prospective, nationwide cohort study of patients with ischemic stroke treated with EVT in routine clinical practice in the Netherlands. Baseline systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were recorded on admission. The primary outcome was the score on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days. Secondary outcomes included successful reperfusion (extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2B-3), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and 90-day mortality. Multivariable logistic and linear regression were used to assess the associations of SBP and DBP with outcomes. The relations between BPs and outcomes were tested for nonlinearity. Parameter estimates were calculated per 10 mm Hg increase or decrease in BP. Results: We included 3180 patients treated with EVT between March 2014 and November 2017. The relations between admission SBP and DBP with 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores and mortality were J-shaped, with inflection points around 150 and 81 mm Hg, respectively. An increase in SBP above 150 mm Hg was associated with poor functional outcome (adjusted common odds ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.04–1.15]) and mortality at 90 days (adjusted odds ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.03–1.16]). Following linear relationships, higher SBP was associated with a lower probability of successful reperfusion (adjusted odds ratio, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.94–0.99]) and with the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.99–1.13]). Results for DBP were largely similar. Conclusions: In patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with EVT, higher admission BP is associated with lower probability of successful reperfusion and with poor clinical outcomes. Further research is needed to investigate whether these patients benefit from BP reduction before EVT.

Introduction: Although the effect of blood pressure in post-stroke outcome is well recognized, the long-term time course of BP following acute ischemic stroke and it’s influence to outcomes have not been well elucidated. Method: From a multicenter prospective registry of acute ischemic stroke patients, a total of 5,514 patients with measurement of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in more than 2 of 7 prespecified time points up to 1 year after symptom onset were analyzed. The patients were grouped according to longitudinal SBPs of each patient using a group-based trajectory model, and number of groups were determined by the optimal delta-Bayesian Information Criterion. Outcome measures, which were stroke recurrence, mortality and composite of each events along with myocardial infarction were prospectively collected up to 1 year after symptom onset. Results: Patients were categorized into four groups according to their SBP trajectories: low (27.0%), moderate (59.5%), persistently high (1.2%), and slowly dropping (12.4%). After adjustment for pre-determined covariates, there were higher risk of stroke recurrence in persistently high SBP group (hazard ratio (HR), 2.28 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-5.12]). Mortality was higher only in the slowly dropping SBP group (HR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.09-2.05]). Composite events were higher in both persistently high (HR, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.02-3.75]) and slowing dropping (HR, 1.54 [95% CI, 1.18-2.00]) SBP groups. Conclusion: There were a group of patterns in long-term longitudinal SBP changes after acute ischemic stroke. Especially, slow BP droppers might have a distinct nature with higher mortality and would be a target for future investigations.

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the management of perioperative target blood pressure in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolytic bridging. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the blood pressure management and nursing experience of 36 patients with acute ischemic stroke who received endovascular treatment with bridge mode from November 2017 to January 2019 in our hospital. Through correct monitoring of basic blood pressure, rapid and stable blood pressure reduction before the bridge treatment, close cooperation during the operation, and close observation and treatment of postoperative blood pressure fluctuations, the patient’s blood pressure can be controlled within the target range. Results: The blood vessels of 36 patients were partially or completely recanalized after treatment. Clinical outcomes: Two cases died. After 90 days, 29 patients with good clinical outcomes were followed up, and 5 patients with poor clinical prognosis. Conclusion: Effective blood pressure management is a necessary measure in the perioperative period of bridging therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke, which can reduce the postoperative complications of patients treated with bridging therapy, obtain good therapeutic effect and improve the prognosis of patients.
