What is the most appropriate target systolic blood pressure range for a patient experiencing an ischemic stroke who is eligible for thrombolytic therapy?
Between 130 and 150 mmHg
Less than 100 mmHg
Less than 185 mmHg
Greater than 200 mmHg
For patients experiencing an ischemic stroke and eligible for thrombolytic therapy, the target systolic blood pressure range is less than 185 mmHg to reduce the risk of hemorrhagic transformation. Management of blood pressure is crucial to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the therapy. Lowering blood pressure too aggressively can also be harmful, as it may reduce perfusion to the already ischemic brain tissue.
