1.Blood hypertension and its cerebrovascular complications in Hai Duong General Hospital from 2000 to 2003
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2003;0(3):31-33
A retrospective study was carried out on 1581 patients with hypertension and cerebrovascular accident (stroke) resulting from hypertension in Hai Duong General Hospital from 2000 to 2003. The results of study: the number of patients with hypertension and stroke is increasing, male more than female; the number of patients with stroke was higher than that of patients with hypertension in the same period. Hypertension and stroke were increasingly by age, often in elderly population with age above 60. Nowadays, severe cases are more than the past recent years

2.Study on the antihypertensive problem in ischemic stroke patients with hypertension at the ICU-provincial general hospital of Quang Tri
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;517(8):12-15
We studied 47 ischemic stroke patients with hypertension at the ICU-Quang tri general hospital in the year 2004. These patients were divided into 2 groups: group A consisting of 23 patients whose blood pressure was lowered considerably within 6 early hours and 24 early hours after admission; while the blood pressure of 24 patients of group B was lowered step by step, in a ladder fashion according to the recommendation of WHO. Objective: Clinical comparison (improvement of coma and movement, evidence of cerebral edema) between the 2 groups within 72 hours after hospitalization. Study design: prospective, clinical comparison between 2 disease groups. Results:-Upon admission, the difference of mean Glasgow scores of group A(8.71.1) and group B (8.31.9) is not of statistical significance (p>0.05). At the 24th hour, the mean Glasgow scores of group A and B are 7.5 2.4 and 9.52.6, respectively. By 48 hours, these scores of group A and B are 7.82.4 and 10.62.7, respectively. The mean Glasgow scores of group A and B at the 72nd hour are 7.51.5 and 11.32.5, respectively. It is demonstrated that the mean Glasgow scores at hours 24, 48 and 72 of group B are statistic significant higher than these scores of group A (p<0.01). The clinical improvement of motor paralysis and cerebral edema within 24, 48 and 72 hours after hospital admission is better in group B than in group A, with statistic significance (p<0.01).

4.General Management of Acute Stroke.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2009;52(4):334-339
Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment is most important process in managing patients with acute stroke. The acute stroke treatment can be categorized as a specific treatment and general management. Specific treatment, including antithrombotic treatment or thrombolysis therapy, needs to be modified in individual patients. However, general management deals with common problems such as elevated blood pressure, high glucose level, respiratory difficulty, or fever, and those problems are commonly encountered in treating patients with acute stroke. This paper presents up-to-date recommendations for treating acute stroke with review of literatures.

5.Stroke Update: Optimal Blood Pressure Management for Stroke Prevention.
Korean Journal of Stroke 2011;13(2):63-65
Hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke. Blood pressure control results in significant reduction in most cardiovascular events, especially stroke. Several recent studies investigated the effects of tight blood pressure control on the development of cardiovascular events including stroke. On the other hand, besides mean blood pressure, which is the conventional target for hypertension management, the importance of blood pressure variability has been issued recently. Optimal target of blood pressure level and blood pressure variability for stroke prevention will be discussed.

6.To study some risk factors of cerebrovascular accident complications
Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;480(5):44-47
In ThaiNguyen Central General Hospital some cerebro-vascular complications were studied. Common risk factors leading to complications were: Hypertension with the highest incidence of 78,5%, lipidemia disorder 53,9%, alcoholism 26,9%, tabagism 21,4%, catching a cold 16,4%, transient ischaemia 14,8%, familly factors10,9%, heart diseases 8,2%, stress 5,4% and diabetes 3,8%.

Korean Circulation Journal 1975;5(2):33-44
The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein values and cerebrovascular accidents. Serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured in 130 cases of normal Korean, 49 patients with cerebrovascular accidents and 35 patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The mean values of serum lipids in patients with cerebrovascular accidents were 148.3+/-75.3mg% for triglyceride, 189.6+/-37.4mg% for cholesterol, 132.5+/-55.2mg% for phospholipid and 548.8+/-106.3mg% for total lipid. 2. The mean values of serum lipoproteins in patients with cerebrovascular accidents were 255.3+/-81.6mg% for beta-lipoprotein, 118.3+/-73.7mg% for pre-beta-lipoprotein and 183.6+/-65.5mg% for alpha-lipoprotein. 3. There were no significant differences of sex and age in the mean values of serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with cerebrovascular accidents. 4. In general the mean concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins, except phospholipid and alpha-lipoprotein, in patients with cerebrovascular accidents and hypertension were significantly elevated than in normal control subjects. 5. There were no significant differences in serum lipid and lipoprotein values between various types of cerebrocasculr accidents. 6. The change of serum lipid and lipoprotein values had a decreasing tendency till one month after onset, thereafter the values became similar to to\hose of early period of illness. 7. The incidence of hyperlipoproteinemia in patients with cerebrovascular accidents was 64%, and the most frequent type of hyperlipoproteinemia was Type IIa, as the frequency decreased in the order of Type IV, Type IIb and Type III.

9.The Overview of Endocrine Hypertension.
Korean Journal of Medicine 2012;82(4):393-395
The prevalence of hypertension is approximately 30%. Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, ischemic heart disease and cardiac failure. In most, hypertension is essential or idiopathic, but a subgroup of approximately 15% has secondary hypertension. Endocrine hypertension is one of the common causes of secondary hypertension and is characterized by hormonal derangements. There are at least 14 endocrine disorders for which hypertension may be the initial clinical presentation. An accurate diagnosis of endocrine hypertension provides the clinician with a unique treatment opportunity. Therefore understanding about the appropriate diagnosis and management is very important.

10.Blood Pressure in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Michael MCMANUS ; David S LIEBESKIND
Journal of Clinical Neurology 2016;12(2):137-146
Hypertension is present in up to 84% of patients presenting with acute stroke, and a smaller proportion of patients have blood pressures that are below typical values in the context of cerebral ischemia. Outcomes are generally worse in those who present with either low or severely elevated blood pressure. Several studies have provided valuable information about malignant trends in blood pressure during the transition from the acute to the subacute phase of stroke. It is not uncommon for practitioners in clinical practice to identify what appear to be pressure-dependent neurologic deficits. Despite physiologic and clinical data suggesting the importance of blood pressure modulation to support cerebral blood flow to ischemic tissue, randomized controlled trials have not yielded robust evidence for this in acute ischemic stroke. We highlight previous studies involving acute-stroke patients that have defined trends in blood pressure and that have evaluated the safety and efficacy of blood-pressure modulation in acute ischemic stroke. This overview reports the current status of this topic from the perspective of a stroke neurologist and provides a framework for future research.
