Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for patients who have had a recent ischemic stroke. Participants will be assessed to understand how changes in blood pressure impact recovery and to find better treatment options.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with ischemic stroke.
- I have imaging results showing ischemic stroke in specific brain areas.
- My stroke started within the last 48 hours.
- I can have a special MRI scan within 72 hours of arriving at the hospital.
- I have a NIH Stroke Scale score of 4 or higher.
You may not be able to join if
- I had a pre-existing disability rating of 3 or higher before my stroke.
- I am not expected to stay in the hospital for at least 72 hours.
- I have a pacemaker or other reasons that prevent me from having an MRI.

About This Trial
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the role of blood pressure (BPV) variability in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. To determine the association of BPV with functional/cognitive outcome after ischemic stroke.
2. To determine a pathophysiologic mechanism of BPV's deleterious effect on functional outcome.
3. To evaluate pot…
