Blood pressure (BP) is characterized by marked short-term fluctuations occurring within a 24
h period (beat-to-beat, minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, and day-to-night changes) and also …

Background and Purpose—The modified Rankin scale (mRS), a clinician-reported measure
of global disability, is widely applied for evaluating stroke patient outcomes and as an end …

High blood pressure (BP) is common in acute stroke and might be associated with a poor
outcome, although observational studies have given varying results. In a systematic review …

It has long been known that blood pressure (BP) is characterized by an array of
spontaneous variations. 1 That is, BP values vary markedly within the 24 hours because of …

This article reviews the clinical value of ambulatory blood pressure (BP) vis-à-vis the
traditional BP measurements taken in the physician's office or in the hospital. Mention is …

A large body of evidence has consistently supported the relationship between blood
pressure (BP) levels and the risk of cardiovascular complications. In recent years, several …

Background and Purpose—Blood pressure variability (BPV) may be an important prognostic
factor acutely after stroke. This review investigated the existing evidence for the effect of BPV …

The association of ambulatory blood pressure (BP) variability with mortality and
cardiovascular events is controversial. To investigate whether BP variability predicts …

Objectives: Hypertension and chronic cerebrovascular disease are known to alter static
cerebral autoregulation (CA) but the effects of acute stroke on dynamic CA (dCA) have not …

Background High blood pressure is a prognostic factor for acute stroke, but blood pressure
variability might also independently predict outcome. We assessed the prognostic value of …
