Effects of vascular compression on the rostral ventrolateral medulla for blood pressure variability in stroke patients
Conclusion:
Although RVLM compression was closely associated with BP variability in the subacute ischemic stroke phase, an effect of RVLM compression on stroke outcome was not observed.

High blood pressure as a risk factor for incident stroke among very old people: a population-based cohort study
Introduction: High blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of stroke, but there is limited evidence from studies including very old people. The aim was to investigate risk factors for incident stroke among very old people.
Methods: A prospective population-based cohort study was performed among participants aged at least 85 years in northern Sweden. The 955 participants were tested at their homes. BP was measured manually after 5-min supine rest. Incident stroke data were collected from medical charts guided by hospital registry, death records, and 5-year reassessments. Cox proportional hazards models were used.

A differential expression of uncoupling protein-2 associates with renal damage in stroke-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rat/stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat-derived stroke congenic lines
Conclusion: A differential UCP2 expression associates with different degree of renal damage upon Japanese diet in two SHRSR/SHRSP-derived stroke congenic lines through modulation of mitochondrial function, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Blood pressure variability in subacute stage and risk of major vascular events in ischemic stroke survivors
Conclusion:
This study shows that BP variability but not mean BP in the subacute stage of ischemic stroke may increase 1-year risk of major vascular events in patients surviving its acute stage.

Blood pressure levels and risk of haemorrhagic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulants: results from The Swedish Primary Care Cardiovascular Database of Skaraborg
Conclusion:
In this cohort of primary care patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation, we found that baseline SBP in the 145–180 mmHg range, prior to initiation of OAC, was associated with a more than doubled risk of haemorrhagic stroke, as compared with an SBP of 130 mmHg. This suggests that lowering SBP to below 145 mmHg, prior to initiation of OAC, may decrease the risk of haemorrhagic stroke in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation.

Retinal microvascular abnormalities and risks of incident stroke and its subtypes: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study
Conclusion:
Retinal microvascular abnormalities were positively associated with the risk of incident stroke in the general Japanese population. Routine retinal photography could provide positive clinical insights into stroke risk stratification independent of blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, and other risk factors.

Prediction of long-term outcomes by arterial stiffness and pressure wave reflections in patients with acute stroke: the Athens Stroke Registry
Background and purpose:
Stroke patients’ management might be improved by addressing the role of aortic stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity: cfPWV) and pressure wave reflections (PWRs, augmentation index: AIx) in their pathogenesis and outcome. We tested the hypothesis that cfPWV and AIx, separately and combined, predict long-term outcomes [all-cause mortality, incidence of cardiovascular events, stroke recurrence and disability defined by modified Ranking Scale (mRS) ≥3] in patients with acute stroke, using data from the ‘Athens Stroke Registry’.
Methods:
Data from 552 patients (70% men, age: ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with diabetes and prior stroke: a nationwide study
Conclusion: Our study supports the hypothesis that the risks of MACEs and two additional secondary outcomes in patients with diabetes who survived ischemic stroke did not differ according to ACEI versus ARB use.

Home blood pressure predicts stroke incidence among older adults with impaired physical function: the Ohasama study
Conclusion: Higher home BP was associated with increased risk of stroke even among those with impaired physical function. Measurements of home BP would be useful for stroke prevention, even after physical function decline.

Long-term risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in middle-aged men with a hypertensive response to exercise: a 44-year follow-up study
Conclusion:
Among middle-aged men with high resting and maximum blood pressure during maximum exercise workload, an increased risk of stroke was observed but not for MI. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the increased risk of stroke among individuals with hypertensive response to exercise.

Effects of candesartan in acute stroke on activities of daily living and level of care at 6 months
Conclusion: Blood pressure-lowering treatment with candesartan had no beneficial effect on activities of daily living and level of care at 6 months. This result is compatible with the results of the main analysis of the modified Rankin scale, and supports the conclusion that there is no indication for routine blood pressure treatment with candesartan in the acute phase of stroke.

Risk of stroke and coronary heart disease among various levels of blood pressure in diabetic and nondiabetic Chinese patients
Conclusion:
HTN was associated with a two-fold increased risk of CHD and a three-fold increased risk of stroke compared with normotension irrespective of diabetes status. For diabetic patients with HTN, a more comprehensive method is essential for assessing cardiovascular risk.

SBP and antihypertensive treatment in the acute phase after stroke and its impact on the risk of falling
The objectives of this study were to describe SBP development among patients in the acute phase after stroke, and to investigate whether intensified antihypertensive treatment during this phase was associated with short-term prognosis regarding the risk of falling.
Patients and methods:
This observational study is a sub-study of the Fall Study of Gothenburg and included 421 consecutive patients admitted to a stroke unit. Medical records were studied for blood pressure measurements, antihypertensive treatment and falls. Random coefficient models for repeated measures data was used to study change in SBP. Univariable Cox ...

Prognostic significance of acute hypertensive response in ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack patients and its relationship with left ventricular myocardial function
Conclusion:
AHR in patients with AIS or TIA may be an important poor prognostic marker related to myocardial dysfunction.

Association of increased arterial stiffness with diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background:
Young and middle-aged ischemic stroke survivors have a high prevalence of hypertension, increased arterial stiffness and abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, which all are associated with the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction. However, the prevalence and covariates of diastolic dysfunction in these patients have not been reported.
Objectives:
To explore diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study.
Methods:
Data from 260 patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed. Diastolic dysfunction was assessed by combining tran...
