Why the study?
Do beat-to-beat blood pressure levels and variability predict 30-day outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Do beat-to-beat blood pressure levels and variability predict 30-day outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Short-term noninvasive beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring, specifically mean arterial pressure and its variability, provides important prognostic information for 30-day outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Beat-to-beat MAP and variability were associated with poor 30-day outcomes after ischemic stroke; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Dawson et al. (2000) studied this question.
