    High blood pressure variability (BPV) is linked to increased risk and poor outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with hypertension.

  • 2

    This study involved 75 AIS patients with hypertension, comparing outcomes based on systolic BPV after symptom onset.

  • 3

    The observation group exhibited higher diastolic BPV and worse 90-day outcomes compared to the control group.

  • 4

    Patients in the observation group who improved their BPV showed significantly better functional outcomes at 90 days.

  • 5

    Tailored antihypertensive therapy aimed at reducing BPV may improve prognosis in AIS patients with hypertension.
