Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration [PDF]
Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) is associated independently with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke, although in most analyses “baseline” BP was measured 24 hours or more postictus, and not during the hyperacute period.

The relationship between oxidative stress and acute ischemic stroke severity and functional outcome
Background Cerebral ischemia initiates an oxidative stress response in the brain which is a composite process that involves many oxidative stress biomarkers. High levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke had been found.
