What are the effects of postthrombolysis blood pressure elevation on intracerebral hemorrhage?
Studies have shown that postthrombolysis blood pressure elevation is associated with an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Studies have found that systolic blood pressure contributes to ICH after thrombolysis for ischemic stroke. In addition, studies have shown that increased blood pressure variability after thrombolysis is associated with worse outcomes in stroke patients. Finally, studies have demonstrated that post-thrombolytic blood pressure is a predictor of symptomatic ICH. Thus, postthrombolysis blood pressure elevation has been shown to increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.
