Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure variability and association with ischemic stroke subtypes in the subacute stage.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) increases the risk of cerebral disease in both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. However, whether BPV is associated with different types of ischemic stroke remains unclear. In this study, we explored the relationship between BPV and ischemic stroke subtypes.

Methods

We enrolled consecutive patients aged 47-95 years with ischemic stroke in the subacute stage. We categorized them into four groups based on their artery atherosclerosis severity, brain magnetic resonance imaging markers, and disease history: large-artery atherosclerosis, branch atheromatous disease, small-vessel disease, and cardioembolic stroke. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed, and the mean systolic blood pressure/di
