Hypertensive patients who suffer a stroke frequently present with diastolic hypertension, increased blood pressure variability, and early diastolic myocardial dysfunction.
May prompt diastolic assessment in hypertensive stroke patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice implications.
The study addresses hemodynamics and metabolic status in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), complicated by stroke, and its contributing factors. It was demonstrated, that AH is a leading risk factor in patients, who suffered stroke, and daily profile of blood pressure has certain peculiarities. Thus, these patients show diastolic hypertension and increased variability of blood pressure. Early onset of diastolic myocardial dysfunction is often present in patients with AH, complicated by stroke.
