Abstract-Background: High blood pressure, although the main modifiable risk factor for stroke, may have a beneficial effect in maintaining brain perfusion after acute ischemia. The authors assessed the effects of blood pressure variation in the first 24 hours of stroke onset. Methods: The authors prospectively studied consecutive patients admitted in the first 24 hours after stroke onset. Patients were classified according to the NIH Stroke Scale
A further investigation on BP was done in REF , which investigated detrimental effects of blood pressure reduction in the first 24 hours of acute stroke onset.
