Abstract：Objective To study the characteristics of ambulatory blood pressure in the patients with hypertension complicating acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods The patients (n=262) were chosen from the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei United University from Oct. 2011 to Jun. 2013, and divided into ACI group (n=86), asymptomatic ACI group (n=82) and non-ACI group (n=94). The changes of 24 h mean systolic blood pressure (MSBP), daytime MSBP, nighttime MSBP, 24 h mean diastolic blood pressure (MDBP), daytime MDBP, nighttime MDBP, daytime systolic blood pressure load (SBPL), nighttime SBPL, daytime diastolic blood pressure load (DBPL) and nighttime DBPL were compared in 3 groups. Results Compared with non-ACI group, 24 h MSBP, daytime MSBP and nighttime MSBP increased in ACI group (all P<0.05), which had no statistical difference compared between asymptomatic ACI group and non-ACI group or ACI group (all P>0.05). Compared with non-ACI group, 24 h MDBP, daytime MDBP and nighttime MDBP had no statistical difference in asymptomatic ACI group and ACI group (P>0.05). Compared with non-ACI group, daytime SBPL, nighttime SBPL, daytime DBPL and nighttime DBPL increased significantly in ACI group and asymptomatic ACI group (all P<0.05). Conclusion In clinical treatment, decreasing blood pressure load is main anti-hypertension therapy in the patients with asymptomatic ACI, and reducing SBP and blood pressure load is important in the patients with complications of ACI.
