Why Antihypertensives are avoided in the first few days of Ischemic stroke?.A. CPP= MAP - ICP.CPP(Cerebral perfusion pressure),MAP ( Mean arterial pressure), ICP( Intra cranial pressure) . Therefore In ischemic stroke when cerebral perfusion is reduced body tries to restore perfusion by increasing Mean Arterial Pressure & therefore antihypertensive drugs are avoided in the first few days unless there is very high Blood pressure.
