Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Acute Stroke Blood Pressure Cerebral Hemorrhage | Other: Systolic blood pressure target < 130 mm Hg Other: Systolic blood pressure target < 185 mm Hg | Not Applicable |
Patients will be followed for 3 months:
- inclusion after reperfusion: clinical evaluation with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Score) score, measurement of blood pressure.
- within 24 hours after reperfusion: blood pressure measurements
- at 24 hours: measurement of blood pressure (T0 + 24 h and evaluation of the NIHSS score.
- Between 24 and 36 hours :cerebral scan (assessment of hemorrhagic transformations and cerebral infarction volumes). For some centers: Cerebral MRI without injection between H24 and H36
- 72 hours after reperfusion: Cerebral scanner in case of hyperdensity on the initial scanner
- 3 months after reperfusion: disability assessment by Rankin score
