Does antihypertensive treatment reduce stroke-related mortality and disability in patients with acute ICH?
Six studies were identified that investigated antihypertensive therapy for ICH. Four of these were non comparative case series and thus were excluded from our review. Two unique studies met eligibility criteria and were pre- and post-designs. Neither study commented on outcomes of death or disability. One suggested that cerebral perfusion pressure was not altered with antihypertensive therapy.
