Abstract:
Hypertension is the most important risk factor for ischemic stroke and other cardiocerebrovascular diseases.However,the mean blood pressure can not completely explain the target organ damage caused by hypertension and the benefits of antihypertensive treatment.A series of studies have demonstrated that blood pressure variability (BPV) is the risk factor for ischemic stroke independent of the mean blood pressure,and there was also a significant correlation between BPV and ischemic stroke.In recent years,the research of BPV has gradually become a hot spot in the field of prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.However,the specific relevance between BPV and ischemic stroke is not entirely clear.This article briefly reviews the relationship between BPV and ischemic stroke.
