What is the relationship between blood pressure and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients administered lytic medication?
The relationship between blood pressure and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients administered lytic medication has been studied in various studies. For instance, a study by Wu et al. (2016) found that higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements were associated with better clinical outcomes. Additionally, Endo et al. (2013) found that higher blood pressure variability was associated with better stroke outcomes after thrombolysis, while Waltimo et al. (2016) found that higher post-thrombolytic systolic and diastolic blood pressures were associated with an increased risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
