Stroke and blood pressure variability.
Sleep apnoea is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Sleep apnoea is common after stroke and associated with increased blood pressure variability as described by Turkington and co-workers in this issue of Clinical Science. Both sleep apnoea and blood pressure variability confer a poor prognosis after stroke and are potentially treatable. Many studies of CPAP (continuous positive airwa...
متن کاملAn optimum blood pressure target after lacunar stroke?
482 www.thelancet.com Vol 382 August 10, 2013 Sustained lowering of blood pressure by 10 mm Hg systolic and 5 mm Hg diastolic lessens the risk of recurrent stroke by about one-third (relative risk 0·66, 95% CI 0·56–0·79). Larger reductions in blood pressure are associated with greater reductions in risk. This eff ect is consistent in most subtypes of stroke because hypertension-induced intracra...
متن کاملGenome-wide analysis of blood pressure variability and ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure (vBP) is associated with ischemic stroke. We sought to determine whether such variability has genetic causes and whether genetic variants associated with BP variability are also associated with ischemic stroke. METHODS A Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) for loci influencing BP variability was undertaken in 3802 individual...
متن کاملBlood pressure does no predict lacunar infarction.
We studied the relation between blood pressure and type of cerebral infarction (large or lacunar) in 134 patients with acute hemispheral infarcts that were detectable by computed tomography and that could not be attributed to causes other than atherothrombotic arterial disease. Lacunae were present in 26 patients, and systolic blood pressures were higher in this group than in the 108 patients w...
متن کاملBrain microbleeds relate to higher ambulatory blood pressure levels in first-ever lacunar stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypertension is an important risk factor for brain microbleeds (BMBs) in lacunar stroke patients. However, beyond the qualitative label "hypertension," little is known about the association with ambulatory blood pressure (BP) levels. METHODS In 123 first-ever lacunar stroke patients we performed 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring after the acute stroke-phase. We counted B...
