Blood Pressure Variability After Acute Ischemic Stroke and Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Refining Its Definition, Intervention Opportunities, and Research Directions.

ABSTRACT: Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) in the acute phases of cerebrovascular emergencies, such as acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), has been shown to result in worsened outcomes. Although several studies have reported this association, no consensus exists for specific BPV targets or a consistent, unified definition of BPV in AIS or ICH. Therefore, we convened the Blood Pressure Variability in Cerebrovascular Emergencies Consortia, consisting of a multidisciplinary group of experts in stroke, neurocritical care, perioperative medicine, emergency medicine, and clinical pharmacy to assess the clinical impact of BPV and to develop a working consensus on defining BPV, identifying interventions to mitigate negative outcomes from increased BPV, and laying the gr
