A Study on 24-hour Monitoring of Blood Pressure in Acute Stroke and Its Correlation with Short Term Neurological Outcome.

Background And Purpose: The association between blood pressure (BP) at admission and clinical outcomes in patients with acute stroke has been investigated; however, results from these studies are contradictory. Hence, we designed this study to monitor circadian variation of BP in acute stroke and study its correlation with neurological outcome.

Materials And Methods: A total of 108 cases of acute stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic) admitted within 24 hours were included in the study.
