17 What s the Deal with Blood Pressure?

18 INTEnsive blood pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage (INTERACT2) INTERACT-1 RCT in Lancet Neurol 2008 of 500 patients with less hematoma growth with SBP < 140 Spontaneous nonmassive ICH, GCS Patients SBP vs 1412 Patients SBP Initiated within 6 hours after bleed for next 7 days mrs 3-6 in 52.0% vs 55.6% at 3 months (p = 0.06); meets significance in ordinal analysis Serious Adverse Events 23.3% vs 23.6%.

19 Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage II (ATACH-2) ATACH feasibility and safety of three BP tiers in 60 patients (Crit Care Med 2010) Spontaneous Supratentorial ICH < 60 cc, GCS Patients SBP vs 500 Patients SBP via cardene gtt Initiated within 4.5 hours after symptom onset for next 24 hours with SBP > 180 mrs 4-6 in 38.7% vs 37.7% at 3 months Overall Treatment-Related Serious Adverse Events 1.6% vs 1.2% Hematoma Expansion (33% or more at 24 hours) 18.9% vs 24.4% (p = 0.08) Renal Adverse Events 9% vs 4% (p = 0.002) Mean SBP vs in two hours (150 vs 164 in INTERACT2)
