Stroke and Vascular Neurology, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1136/svn-2016-000020Blood pressure (BP) is elevated in 75% or more of patients with acute stroke and is associated with poor outcomes. Whether to modulate BP in acute stroke has long been debated. With the loss of normal cerebral autoregulation, theoretical concerns are... Read More about Blood pressure management in acute stroke.
