High values of baseline and 24-hour Mean Arterial Pressure are associated with lower chance of early neurological improvement in acute stroke patients treated with thrombolysis (P4.286)

Conclusions:High baseline and 24-hr MAP values are associated with lower chance of achieving ENI after IV thrombolysis. Further studies are needed to better understand whether acute BP dysregulation can influence different clinical courses in the early phase of IV thrombolysis.Disclosure: Dr. Lorenzano has nothing to disclose.
