Background: Extremes of both high and low systolic blood pressure (SBP) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large artery occlusion stroke are known predictors of unfavorable outcome. However, the effect of SBP change (ΔSBP) during the first 24 hour on MT outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between ΔSBP at different time intervals and thrombectomy outcomes. Methods: We analyzed thrombectomy treated patients registered in the SITS International Stroke Thrombectomy Registry from 2014-01-01 to 2019-09-03. The primary outcome was 3-month unfavorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 3-6). We defined ΔSBP as mean SBP of given time intervals after MT (0-2h, 2-4h, 4-12h, 12-24h) minus admission SBP. Multivariable mixed logistic regression models were used to adjust for known confounders and center as random effect. Subgroups analyses were included to contrast specific subpopulations. Restricted cubic splines were used to model the associations. Results: The study population consisted of 5835 patients (mean age 70 years, 51% male, median NIHSS 16). Mean ΔSBP was -12.3, -15.7, -17.2, and -16.9 for the time intervals 0-2h, 2-4h, 4-12h, 12-24h, respectively. Higher ΔSBP was associated with unfavorable outcome at all time intervals. Restricted cubic spline models suggested that increasing ΔSBP was associated with unfavorable outcomes, with higher values showing an even higher risk of unfavorable outcomes. (Figure 1). Successful reperfusion (mTICI ≥2b) retained an association between ΔSBP and outcomes, while unsuccessful reperfusion (mTICI <2b) did not. Conclusion: Up to our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relation between ΔSBP at different time intervals and the outcome of MT. BP increase after thrombectomy in large artery occlusion stroke is associated with poor functional outcome. The association between ΔSBP and poor outcome differed by reperfusion status.

Background and purposeThe association between blood pressure variability (BPV) and stroke recurrence among patients who had ischaemic stroke (IS) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between BPV and stroke recurrence in patients who had IS of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subtype and small artery occlusion (SAO) subtype.MethodsData from the BOSS (Blood Pressure and Clinical Outcome in Transient Ischemic Attack or Ischemic Stroke) study were examined. IS subtypes were diagnosed according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. BPV was performed by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and defined through SD of blood pressure. The primary outcome was stroke recurrence within 90 days after discharge. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to assess the association between BPV and stroke recurrence in patients who had IS of LAA subtype and SAO subtype.ResultsA total of 1390 patients who had IS from the BOSS study were included in the present study. Multivariable analysis suggests that 24-hour systolic BPV (SBPV) and night-time diastolic BPV (DBPV) were significantly associated with stroke recurrence among all patients who had IS (HR, 2.50, 95% CI 1.07 to 5.84; HR, 1.85, 95% CI 1.07 to 3.21, respectively). Night-time SBPV and night-time DBPV were significantly associated with stroke recurrence in patients with SAO subtype (HR, 2.77, 95% CI 1.07 to 7.15; HR, 3.60, 95% CI 1.39 to 9.29, respectively). However, in the adjusted model, only night-time DBPV remained significant in patients with SAO subtype (HR, 3.87, 95% CI 1.40 to 10.71). Similar results were not found in patients who had IS of LAA subtype.ConclusionsHigh night-time DBPV was associated with increased risk of stroke recurrence among patients who had IS of SAO subtype. The results of this study have implications for the secondary prevention management and future research of patients who had IS of SAO subtype. The association between BPV and stroke recurrence in patients who had IS of LAA subtype and SAO subtype should be investigated in larger, population-based studies.

Background and Purpose: The effect of blood pressure (BP) within 24 hours post-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) accounts on clinical outcomes for patients with successful reperfusion. We aimed to investigate the relationship between BP during 24 hours post-MT with clinical outcomes individually for anterior circulation stroke (ACS) or posterior circulation stroke (PCS) patients Method: Patients with successful recanalization and a full record of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) every two hours within 24 hours post-MT were included from the ANGEL study, a multi-centric, prospective registry study of endovascular treatment owing to proximal large-artery occlusion from June 2015 to December 2017. We divided patients into three groups based on maximum SBP: <140 (intensive), 140-160 (moderate) and <180 mmHg (permissive). Clinical outcomes included functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2), mortality at 90 days follow up and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Results: 355 eligible patients were enrolled in this study. There were 162, 124, and 69 patients in the intensive, moderate, and permissive group, respectively. A 10mmHg increase of maximum SBP during the first 24 hours post-MT was independently associated with a lower likelihood of functional independence (OR=0.84 [0.75-0.94], p=0.001) at 90 days after adjusting for potential confounders. As to ACS, intensive SBP management was associated with higher odds of 90-day functional independence (OR=0.38 [0.18-0.79], p=0.010), compared with permissive SBP group. As to PCS, moderate SBP management was associated with lower odds of 90-day mortality, either compared with permissive or intensive SBP group. Conclusion: Higher maximum SBP post-MT was independently associated with a higher risk of poor clinical outcomes. Intensive SBP control may be more reasonable for patients with ACS, while moderate SBP is more beneficial for PCS. Although more randomized trials are needed.

Background and Purpose The influence of stroke etiology on outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is not well understood. We aimed to investigate whether stroke etiology subgrouped as large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and cardiac embolism (CE) influences outcomes in large artery occlusion (LAO) treated by EVT.Methods We included EVT treated LAO stroke patients registered in the Safe Implementation of Treatment in Stroke (SITS) thrombectomy register between January 1, 2014 and September 3, 2019. Primary outcome was successful reperfusion (modified Treatment in Cerebral Infarction 2b-3). Secondary outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH), 3-month functional independence (modified Ranking Scale 0–2) and death. Multivariable logistic regression models were used for comparisons. In addition, a meta-analysis of aggregate data from the current literature was conducted (PROSPERO, ID 167447).Results Of 7,543 patients, 1,903 (25.2%) had LAA, 3,214 (42.6%) CE, and 2,426 (32.2%) unknown, other, or multiple etiologies. LAA patients were younger (66 vs. 74, P<0.001) and had lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at baseline (15 vs. 16, P<0.001) than CE patients. Multivariable analyses showed that LAA patients had lower odds of successful reperfusion (odds ratio [OR], 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57 to 0.86) and functional independence (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.85), higher risk of death (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.71), but no difference in SICH (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.71 to 1.66) compared to CE patients. The systematic review found 25 studies matching the criteria. The meta-analysis did not find any difference between etiologies. Conclusions From the SITS thrombectomy register, we observed a lower chance of reperfusion and worse outcomes after thrombectomy in patients with LAA compared to CE etiology, despite more favorable baseline characteristics. In contrast, the meta-analysis did not find any difference between etiologies with aggregate data.

Abstract:This paper proposes a method for decomposing heart rate fluctuations into background, respiratory and blood pressure oriented fluctuations. A signal cancellation scheme using the adaptive RLS algorithm has been introduced for canceling respiration and blood pressure oriented changes in the heart rate fluctuations. The computer simulation confirmed the validity of the proposed method. Then, heart rate fluctuations, instantaneous lung volume and blood pressure changes are simultaneously recorded from eight normal subjects aged 20-24 years. It was shown that after signal decomposition, the power spectrum of the heart rate showed a consistent monotonic 1/fa type pattern. The proposed method enables a clear interpretation of heart rate spectrum removing uncertain large individual variations due to the respiration and blood pressure change.

Objective: We investigated whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) affected the outcomes and complications of mechanical thrombectomy (MT), specifically focusing on thrombus fragmentation. Methods: The patients who underwent MT for large artery occlusion (LAO) were classified into two groups: MT with prior IVT (MT+IVT) group and MT without prior IVT (MT-IVT) group. The clinical outcome, successful recanalization with other radiological outcomes, and complications were compared, between two groups. Subgroup analysis was also performed for patients with simultaneous application of stent retriever and aspiration. Results: There were no significant differences in clinical outcome and successful recanalization rate, between both groups. However, the ratio of pre- to peri-procedural thrombus fragmentation was significantly higher in the MT+IVT group (14.6% and 16.2%, respectively; P=0.004) compared to the MT-IVT group (5.1% and 6.8%, respectively; P=0.008). The MT+IVT group required more second stent retriever (16.2%), more stent passages (median value = 2), and more occurrence of distal emboli (3.9%) than the MT-IVT group (7.9%, median value = 1, and 8.1%, respectively) (P=0.004, 0.008 and 0.018, respectively). In subgroup analysis, the results were similar to those of the entire patients. Conclusion: Thrombus fragmentation of IVT with t-PA before MT resulted in an increased need for additional rescue therapies, and it could induce more distal emboli. The use of IVT prior to MT does not affect the clinical outcome and successful recanalization, compared with MT without prior IVT. Therefore, we need to reconsider the need for IVT before MT.

Background: To evaluate the association of sleep factors (sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping, diagnosed sleep disorder) and combined sleep behaviors with the risk of hypertension. Methods: We analyzed 12,166 adults aged 30–79 years who participated in the 2007–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping and sleep disorders were collected using a standardized questionnaire. We included three sleep factors (sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping and sleep disorder) to generate an overall sleep score, ranging from 0 to 3. We then defined the sleep pattern as “healthy sleep pattern” (overall sleep score = 3), “intermediate sleep pattern” (overall sleep score = 2), and “poor sleep pattern” (0 ≤ overall sleep score ≤ 1) based on the overall sleep score. The definition of hypertension was based on self-reported antihypertensive medication use or biological measurement (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg). We used weighted logistic regression models to investigate the associations between sleep and hypertension. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 37.8%. A short sleep duration (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.33, p = 0.001), self-reported trouble sleeping (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.65, p < 0.001) and sleep disorder (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.66, p = 0.012) were related to the risk of hypertension. Poor sleep patterns were closely correlated with the risk of hypertension (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.62 to 2.24). Conclusions: Participants with poor sleep patterns were associated with an increased risk for hypertension.

AbstractThe aim of this study will be to review the current body of literature to understand the effects of stretching on the responses of the cardiovascular system. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, NLM Pubmed and ScienceDirect. Studies regarding the effects of stretching on responses of the cardiovascular system were investigated. Outcomes regarded heart rate(HR), blood pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV of which baPWV for brachial-ankle and cfPWV for carotid-femoral waveforms), heart rate variability and endothelial vascular function. Subsequently, the effects of each outcome were quantitatively synthetized using meta-analytic synthesis with random-effect models. A total of 16 studies were considered eligible and included in the quantitative synthesis. Groups were also stratified according to cross-sectional or longitudinal stretching interventions. Quality assessment through the NHLBI tools observed a “fair-to-good” quality of the studies. The meta-analytic synthesis showed a significant effect of d=0.38 concerning HR, d=2.04 regarding baPWV and d=0.46 for cfPWV. Stretching significantly reduces arterial stiffness and HR. The qualitative description of the studies was also supported by the meta-analytic synthesis. No adverse effects were reported, after stretching, in patients affected by cardiovascular disease on blood pressure. There is a lack of studies regarding vascular adaptations to stretching.
