Relationship between hypertension and pulsatility index in acute ischemic stroke patients

Hypertension is one of the risk factors for stroke. In United States, stroke third leading cause death, with a death rate 146,664 people. Pulsatility index (PI) examination on transcranial Doppler value generated by blood flow velocity and viscosity. Methods: Retrospective analytic observational study cross-sectional design in patients acute thrombotic hypertension according to JNC VIII criteria. Data were obtained from secondary data medical records treated nervous room Dr RSUD. Soetomo, period February 2019 2022, met inclusion criteria, namely being over 18 years old, undergoing TCD having first time. Statistical analysis using Spearman correlation test significance <0.05. Results: A total 46 subjects exclusion Tension mean 152.00 ± 20.87 PI 1.08 0.73. The statistical showed positive substantial statistically significant relationship level (rho = 0.712, p=0.002). Conclusion: there strong between pulsatility
