Key result
Increased blood pressure variability is strongly associated with poor 90-day functional status after acute stroke, highlighting it as a risk marker and potential therapeutic target.
Why the study?
Does increased blood pressure variability worsen functional outcomes in patients with acute stroke?
Population
Patients with severe stroke during the acute and subacute phases
Comparison
Individualized blood pressure lowering and blood… vs Standard blood pressure lowering
Design
Editorial, Randomized controlled trial (for the discussed CHASE study)
Follow-up
90 days

Increased blood pressure variability after acute stroke is independently associated with worse functional outcomes, highlighting the need for interventions that target both absolute blood pressure reduction and variability stabilization.

Lattanzi et al. (2020) conducted an editorial in Acute stroke. Blood pressure variability was evaluated. Increased blood pressure variability is strongly associated with poor 90-day functional status after acute stroke, highlighting it as a risk marker and potential therapeutic target.
