Blood pressure variability, nocturnal heart rate variability and endothelial function predict recurrent cerebro-cardiovascular events following ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiovascular parameters characterizing blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), endothelial function and arterial stiffness predict cerebro-cardiovascular events (CCVE) in the general population. Considering the paucity of data in stroke patients, we assessed these parameters as potential predictors of recurrent CCVE at acute stroke stroke.

Patients and methods

This is a secondary outcome analysis of a prospective observational longitudinal Sleep Deficiency & Stroke Outcome Study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02559739). The study consecutively recruited acute ischemic stroke patients. Cardiovascular parameters (blood pressure variability [BPV], heart rate variability [HRV], endothelial function, and arterial stiffness) were assessed within the first week pos
