title: Blood pressure management in stroke: Five new things.
abstract: Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for stroke, with an estimated 51% of stroke deaths being attributable to high systolic blood pressure globally.1,2The management of hypertension in stroke is determined by timing, the type of stroke, use of thrombolysis, concurrent medical conditions, and pharmacologic variables. We highlight the details of elevated blood pressure management in the hyperacute/acute, subacute, and chronic stages of ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage.
