摘要
Hypertension is a common early finding after an acute ischemic stroke, even in previously normotensive patients. But its significance and proper management are a matter of debate. because of the lack of adequately powered randomized clinical trials. A close analysis of observational and interventional trials, published so far, fails to convince that an early antihypertensive therapy is needed and beneficial. During the first 24-48 hr after ischemic stroke, only blood pressure values repeatedly, higher than 220/120 mmHg require antihypertensive treatment to keel) blood pressure levels in the range of 180-220 mmHg systolic and 100-120 diastolic. Blood pressure reduction should be cautious with the aim of keeping the pressure at relatively high values (180/100-105 in previously hypertensive patients and 160-180/90-100 in previously normotensive patients). The usefulness of increasing blood pressure with vasopressive agents in selected patients with ischemic stroke deserves adequate testing with randomized clinical trials.
