ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
High morning BP surge (MBPS) has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. We evaluated the presence of a high MBPS in patients with recent ischaemic stroke. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A case-control study was carried out. One hundred patients with an ischaemic stroke in the previous 6 months and fifty hypertensive patients without cardiovascular disease were included as controls.RESULTS:
61 lacunar (LAC) and 39 non-lacunar (NLAC) strokes were studied. The mean age was 65±11 years, and 60 (40%) patients were women. High MBPS was present in 9% of strokes (in 5 LAC and 4 NLAC) and in 8% of controls (p not significant [NS]), with a similar mean value of MBPS in both groups 23.9±14mmHg and 24.9±15mmHg respectively (p=NS), although the control patients had a higher office BP (systolic [p=.008] and diastolic [p=.0001]), 24h systolic BP (p=.028) and daytime systolic BP (p=.022). Among the stroke patients, high MBPS was associated with previous coronary heart disease (p=.005), circadian BP pattern (p=.029), but not with the type of antihypertensive treatment prescribed. In multivariate analysis, elevated MBPS was only associated with previous coronary artery disease (p=.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Approximately one in ten patients with recent ischaemic stroke has a high MBPS. Strategies to detect and treat high MBPS after a stroke are needed.Key words
