What are the options to treat arterial hypertension in patients with AIS who are candidates for immediate reperfusion therapy?
Options to treat arterial hypertension in patients with AIS who are candidates for immediate reperfusion therapy are given in Table 5. Patients who have elevated BP and are otherwise eligible for treatment with IV alteplase should have their BP carefully lowered so that their SBP is <185 mmHg and their diastolic BP is <110 mmHg before IV fibrinolytic therapy is initiated.
