ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of antihypertension treatment at different time after acute onset of stroke on patients' prognosis.Methods Ninety-six patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into three groups who received antihypertension treatment separately at the 4th,7th and 10th day after onset.Patients' neurologic deficit and ischemic events were observed at 1 month and 3 months in follow-up.Results Patients who received antihypertension at the 4th day after onset had severer neurologic deficit and more ischemic events than those who received antihypertension at the 7th or 10th day.The patients who received antihypertension treatment at the 7th and 10th day did not show significant difference in prognosis and occurrence rate of ischemic event.Conclusion It is preferable to start antihypertension treatment at the 7th day after onset for patients with ischemic stroke.
