ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering and guideline-recommended standard BP lowering on the early reperfusion and prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods This is a randomised controlled trial consisting of 118 consecutive patients who came from Department of Neurology, Nanjing First Hospital from July 2012 to April 2016, accepting intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator thrombolysis with the systolic blood pressure (SBP) being 150-185 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The patients with ischemic stroke were diagnosed by multi-mode MRI and confirmed to have ischemic penumbra. The SBP of patients randomly assigned to intensive BP lowering group and guideline BP lowering group was maintained in 140-150 mmHg or below 180 mmHg respectively for 72 h and all patients needed to reexamine multi-mode MRI at 24 h. The primary endpoints were the neurologic function at early stage, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and the mortality at 90 d;the secondary endpoints were the volume of infarction and hypoperfusion area, the rate of reperfusion, hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and syptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Results Forty-nine cases in intensive BP lowering group and 56 cases in guideline BP lowering group acquired the available images. The volume of infarction was increased both in these two groups, and there was no statistically significant difference in the increased values ((13.21±9.51) cm3 vs (12.95±9.68) cm3). There were no statistically significant differences in the volume of hypoperfusion, reperfusion rate, neurologic function at early stage, the mRS scores and mortality at 90 d, the incidence of sICH except the rate of HT (9.4%, 5/53 vs 23.1%, 15/65, χ2=3.860, P=0.049) between the two groups.Conclusion Early intensive BP-lowering treatment has no adverse effects on the transformation of ischemic penumbra and prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke and may decrease the the rate of HT in some degree.
