Abstract
Stroke results in impairment of cerebral autoregulation. Systemic blood pressure (BP), whether low or high, may affect cerebral blood flow and cause damage to brain tissue, so is important in the context of stroke. Effective management of BP may result in less severe strokes and better outcomes for patients. https://www.magonlinelibrary.com/doi/full/10.12968/jpar.2020.12.4.157#d1614240e1 Abstract published with permission.
