IntroductionSystolic Blood pressure (SBP) >180mmHg following stroke thrombolysis has been associated with increased bleeding and poorer outcome. Aiming for the guideline SBP of <180mmHg often leads to SBP overshoot as treatment is only triggered if this threshold is passed. We tested whether a lower target would result in fewer high SBP protocol violations. MethodsThis is a prospective, single centre, sequential comparison of two blood pressure protocols. Between 2013 and 2017, the guideline ba...
