Evolution of blood pressure management in acute intracerebral hemorrhage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a prevalent and severe cause of death and disability worldwide. Control of the hypertensive response in acute ICH has been a mainstay of ICH management, yet the optimal approaches and the yield of recommended strategies have been difficult to establish despite a large body of literature. Over the years, theoretical and observed risks and benefits of intensive blood pressure reduction in ICH have been studied in the form of animal models, radiographic studies, and two recent large, randomized patient trials. In this article, we review the historical and developing data and discuss remaining questions surrounding blood pressure management in acute ICH.

Acute treatment of blood pressure after ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage.
Blood pressure elevation in the setting of acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage is common. Controversy exists as to the optimal management of elevated blood pressure in this patient population. This article reviews the available clinical data that guides acute blood pressure management and how this may affect clinical outcomes. Furthermore, it examines how these data have led to c...
متن کاملControl of elevated blood pressure in acute intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage remains a challenging worldwide clinical problem with no proven treatments. In the acute phase of the illness, there has been some controversy regarding the appropriate management of elevated blood pressure. Recently published and ongoing clinical trials are beginning to shed some light on appropriate blood pressure management in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. This bri...
متن کاملA study of the factors associated with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with chronic systemic hypertension
Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following systemic and chronic hypertension is one of the main causes of acute stroke leading to disability and death. Identifying the risk factors in ICH patients can be effective in reducing bleeding and the rates of mortality and disability in these patients. This study was carried out to investigate the factors associated with ICH.Methods: A t...
متن کاملEarlier blood pressure-lowering and greater attenuation of hematoma growth in acute intracerebral hemorrhage: INTERACT pilot phase.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The INTEnsive blood pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT) pilot study showed that early intensive blood pressure-lowering can attenuate hematoma growth in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The present analysis aimed to determine the treatment effects on hematoma growth by time from intracerebral hemorrhage onset to randomization. METHODS Patient...
متن کاملAggressive blood pressure treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage may lead to global cerebral hypoperfusion: Case report and imaging perspective
Hypoperfusion injury related to blood pressure decrease in acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage continues to be a controversial topic. Aggressive treatment is provided with the intent to stop the ongoing bleeding. However, there may be additional factors, including autoregulation and increased intracranial pressure, that may limit this approach. We present here a case of acute hypertensi...
