Pulse pressure level after acute ischemic stroke is associated with early neurological deterioration.

ABSTRACT: Early neurological deterioration (END) is an unfavorable outcome of acute ischemic stroke and is associated with poor prognosis. Blood pressure variability has been suggested to be involved in the development of END. Therefore, the present study investigated the association between blood pressure variability and the development of END. In the present prospective observational study, 286 patients who developed acute ischemic stroke and then hospitalized within 24 h of stroke onset were recruited. Blood pressure parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure) were monitored using a 24 h ambulatory sphygmomanometer within 72 h of ischemic onset. Clinical characteristics were also recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the poss
