Key result
Blood pressure levels do not correlate with cardiac output or systemic vascular resistance in large ischemic stroke, suggesting hemodynamic therapy may be better guided by cardiac output.
Why the study?

In patients with large ischemic stroke, blood pressure does not correlate with cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance, suggesting hemodynamic therapy may be better guided by cardiac output.
This case series of 27 patients with large stroke challenges the current state of the art guiding hemodynamic management by blood pressure levels. The results show that assumed correlations of blood pressure, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance do not exist. Therefore, hemodynamic therapy may better be guided by cardiac output.
