Systolic BP as Risk factor for Stroke (>1990)
Systolic BP was more strongly correlated with 12-year risk of stroke mortality than diastolic BP in Framingham Heart Study
Prospective population based Copenhagen City Heart study also reported systolic BP is a better predictor of stroke than diastolic
Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration analyzing 37 cohort studies reported a continuous, log-linear association between systolic BP and risk of stroke down at least 115 mmHg.
After a 10 mmHg decrease in systolic BP was associated with a 41% lower risk of stroke in Asia and a 30% in Australia

Age and Stroke with Hypertension
Elevated BP and risk of stroke is weaker in older age compared to middle age
The Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration (APCSC)
Treating BP is still important due to increased incidence of stroke with aging.

Blood Pressure in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Systolic blood pressure on arrival at Emergency
• >139 mm Hg in 77%• >184 mm Hg in 15%.
The blood pressure is often higher in acute stroke patients with a history of hypertension
Blood pressure decreases spontaneously within 90 minutes after onset
![Page 11: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BP control in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Is lowering of BP harmful?
Yes Is raising BP beneficial?
Yes
No
No What class of drug?
CC Blocker
AB Blocker
Vasodilators
![Page 12: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Is lowering BP is harmful? Yes
Autoregulation is defective in acute ischemia but it is time dependent.
Oxygen extraction compensate to a point
BP control hamper perfusion of penumbra region
Lowering BP below >10-15% is potentially harmful
Hypertensive patient shows more significant decrease in MBP after induced hypotension than hypertension
![Page 13: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Oral Nimodipine in acute ischemic stroke
A placebo-controlled randomized trial tested oral Nimodipine starting within 48 hours after ischemic stroke onset in 350 patients.
The systolic and diastolic blood pressures were both significantly lower in the Nimodipine group.
Functional outcome at 3 months was similar in the 2 treatment groups, but mortality was significantly higher in the Nimodipine group
![Page 14: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Intravenous Nimodipine West European Stroke Trial (INWEST)
Nimodipine as cytoprotective therapy within 24 hours after ischemic stroke onset and found complications related to blood pressure lowering
Decrease in blood pressure was associated with intravenous Nimodipine therapy and worse clinical outcome at 21 days.
A decrease in diastolic blood pressure >10 mm Hg, but not in the systolic pressure, was significantly associated with worse outcome
![Page 15: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Candesartan in Acute Stroke
An efficacy trial (n=2004) of candesartan showed a mean blood pressure reduction of 7/5 mm Hg at day 7
Favorable outcomes at 6 months, were less likely with candesartan than with placebo.
![Page 16: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Continue or Stop Post-Stroke Antihypertensives Collaborative Study (COSSACS)
Patients were enrolled within 48 hours of stroke onset and the last dose of antihypertensive medication and were maintained in the 2 treatment arms for 2 weeks.
The study was terminated prematurely; however, continuation of antihypertensive medications did not reduce 2-week mortality or morbidity and was not associated with 6-month mortality or cardiovascular event rates.
![Page 17: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Is lowering BP in AIS harmful? No
Defective autoregulation may not be present in all patients
Ischemic penumbra may not be present in all patients
Clinical experience indicates that many patients tolerates gentle treatment of high BP
Natural history studies demonstrate no deleterious effects of lowering BP
High BP at onset has poor prognosis
![Page 18: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypertension during acute ischemic stroke
Extreme hypertension -> Encephalopathy, Cardiac complication, renal insufficiency
Moderate arterial hypertension during acute ischemic stroke might be advantageous by improving cerebral perfusion of the ischemic tissue
It might be detrimental by exacerbating edema and hemorrhagic transformation of the ischemic tissue
![Page 19: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Candesartan in Acute Stroke
Starting an average of 30 hours after ischemic stroke onset in 342 patients with elevated blood pressure.
Blood pressure and the Barthel index score at 3 months were similar in the 2 study groups,
Patients who received the active drug had significantly lower mortality and fewer vascular events at 12 months.

Other problem of raising BP
Increase risk of ICH after lytic therapy
May increase amount and formation of cerebral edema
A 12% increase in terms of size of infarction.
May adversely affect cardiac function
![Page 23: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Optimal BP during acute ischemic stroke
Extreme arterial hypotension is clearly detrimental, because it decreases perfusion to multiple organs, especially the ischemic brain, exacerbating the ischemic injury.
An ideal blood pressure range has not yet been scientifically determined for individual patient.
An ideal blood pressure range during acute ischemic stroke will depend on the stroke subtype and other patient specific co-morbidities.
![Page 24: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Recommendation (AHA 2013)
1. Not for thrombolysis > 220/120 mmHg,
2. For Thrombolysis >185/100 mmHg
3. Severe cardiac failure, Aortic dissection, Hypertensive encephalopathy
4. Cautious blood pressure lowering when (IV Labetalol, IV Enalepril, Nitrendepine) avoid venodilators
![Page 25: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
When to Temporary discontinuation of AHT?
Because swallowing is often impaired, and responses to the medications may be less predictable during the acute stress.
![Page 26: Hypertension and stroke](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554b2913b4c905ce088b4961/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
When to Re-start Antihypertensive Therapy
After the initial 24 hours from stroke onset in most patients.
Individualize such therapy based on relevant co-morbidities, ability to swallow.

How to treat Hypertension in ICH?
When should we treat Hypertension
What is the target mean arterial pressure for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)?
Do we want to be aggressive or conservative?
What should first-line therapy be: beta blockers or calcium-channel blockers?
What should the duration of intravenous (IV) therapy be: 24 hours or 72 hours?

INTERACT2 resolves longstanding uncertainty over the management of elevated BP in acute ICH
Provides evidence regarding safety and efficacy in a broad range of patients with ICH
Defines for the first time a medical therapy for the management of acute ICH
As BP lowering treatment is low cost, simple to implement, and widely applicable, the treatment should become standard of care to patients with ICH in hospitals all over the world

Recommendation AHA 2010
Hypertension is common during early states of ICH -> Expansion, Peri-hematoma edema and re-bleeding
A systolic BP above 140 to 150 mm Hg within 12 hours of ICH is associated with more than double the risk of subsequent death or dependency.
Association of low BP and deterioration is not consistent like ischemic stroke.
In patients presenting with a systolic BP of 150 to 220 mm Hg, acute lowering of systolic BP to 140 mm Hg is probably safe
• Class IIa; Level of Evidence: B

Hypertensive Encephalopathy
When high perfusion pressure overwhelms cerebral autoregulation.
Can lead to blindness, seizures, coma, gradually worsening headache.
Pathologically-cerebral edema, petechial hemorrhg, microinfarcts.
Immediate Neuroimagng - to rule out ischemic stroke/hemorrhage
Hallmark is improvement in 12-24 hrs of BP redn.

BP Control as Primary Prevention of Stroke
Both lifestyle modification and pharmacological therapy, are recommended (Class I; Level of Evidence A)
Systolic BP should be treated to a goal of <140 mm Hg and diastolic BP to <90 mm Hg because these levels are associated with a lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular events (Class I; Level of Evidence A).
In patients with hypertension with diabetes or renal disease, the BP goal is <130/ 80 mm Hg (also see section on diabetes) (Class I; Level of Evidence A).
