Abstract:N ormal cerebral autoregulation maintains uniform cerebral blood flow despite fluctuations in cerebral perfusion pressure between 50-150 mm Hg. This autoregulation is impaired during acute stroke resulting in a linear relationship between cerebral blood flow and cerebral perfusion pressure 1 . Elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure at presentation have been associated with poor outcomes, including early death 1,2,3,4 . There have been few studies that have also shown increased mortal… Show more
