Abstract

We aimed to assess the association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and clinical outcome in 2,397 ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients from the Blood Pressure and Clinical Outcome in TIA or Ischemic Stroke (BOSS) study. BOSS study was a hospital-based, prospective cohort study. The SBP was defined as mean value of 90 days self-measured SBP after onset. Cox proportional hazards models were conducted to test the risk of combined vascular events (CVE) and stroke recurrence among different SBP categories. Restricted cubic splines were used to explore the shape of associations between SBP and clinical outcomes. A J-shaped association of SBP with CVE and stroke recurrence within 90 days was observed (P nonlinearity < 0.001 for both). After adjusting for age, gender, medical history, atrial fibrillation, admission NHISS score, and secondary prevention. The hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of SBP <115 and ⩾165 mmHg compared with 125-134 mmHg were 3.45 (1.11-10.66) and 7.20 (2.91-17.80) for CVE, 2.68 (0.75-9.53) and 9.69 (3.86-24.35) for stroke recurrence, respectively. Similar J-shaped relationships were found after 1 year of follow-up. In conclusion, both high and low SBP are associated with po...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
