BP variability in early ischemic stroke was associated with 90-day mortality; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding care.
Does high acute blood pressure variability increase the risk of death at 90 days in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Wide fluctuations in blood pressure during the first 3 hours of ED admission for acute ischemic stroke are associated with an increased risk of 90-day mortality.
Gilmore et al. (2006) studied this question.
