Elevated Pulse Pressure and Recurrent Hemorrhagic Stroke Risk in Stroke With Cerebral Microbleeds or Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Background Which type of recurrent stroke is associated with pulse pressure (PP) remains uncertain in ischemic stroke with cerebral microbleeds or intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods and Results The PICASSO (Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Ischemic Stroke Patients With High Risk of Cerebral Hemorrhage) database involving 1454 subjects was analyzed. Subjects were stratified into quartiles according to the distribution of mean PP (mm Hg) during follow-up (mean, 1.9 years): <47 (first quartile), 48 to 53 (second quartile), 54 to 59 (third quartile), and ≥60 mm Hg (fourth quartile). The primary end point was hemorrhagic stroke, and the secondary end points were ischemic stroke, stroke of any type, and major adverse cardiovascular events.
