Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify 24-h blood pressure (BP) characteristics after acute stroke in Indian hospitalized patients.
Methods: In total, 769 patients [284 women (36.9%)] admitted at a hospital in South India were analyzed. Of these, 364 patients (47.3%) had recently experienced stroke. All patients underwent ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) so that ABPM patterns and ABPM risk parameters of stroke and non-stroke patients could be compared. Additionally, to investigate the relationship between ABPM parameters and stroke, a stepwise logistic regression analysis was employed.
Results: Stroke patients had significantly higher BP than non-stroke patients (24-h ABP: 145.0 ± 22.1 vs. 133.7 ± 20.5 mmHg, P < 0.001), with similar dipping status. ABPM parameters mostly associated with stroke (all P < 0.001) were: nighttime [odds ratios (OR): 1.587, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.341-1.885], 24-h (1.584, 1.34-1.881), minimum nighttime (1.582, 1.339-1.879), daytime (1.540, 1.304-1.827), and morning SBP (1.517, 1.287-1.797). Non-dipping status was relatively more common in stroke patients (79% vs. 71%, P < 0.05) but dipping percentage did not show a significant linear relationship with stroke.
Conclusion: Several ABPM characteristics were strongly associated with stroke in Indian hospitalized patients. Specifically, minimum nighttime and average morning SBP may be considered as important and practical parameters for its relationship with stroke.
期刊介绍:
Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research.
This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
