This book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine textbook series, teaches readers how to use hemodynamic monitoring, an essential skill for today’s intensivists. It offers a valuable guide for beginners, as well as for experienced intensivists who want to hone their skills, helping both groups detect an inadequacy of perfusion and make the right choices to achieve the main goal of hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill, i.e., to correctly assess the cardiovascular system and its response to tissue oxygen demands. The book is divided into distinguished sections: from physiology to pathophysiology; clinical assessment and measurements; and clinical practice achievements including techniques, the basic goals in clinical practice as well as the more appropriate hemodynamic therapy to be applied in different conditions. All chapters use a learning-oriented style, with practical examples, key points and take home messages, helping readers quickly absorb the content and, at the same time, apply what they have learned in the clinical setting. The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine has developed the Lessons from the ICU series with the vision of providing focused and state-of-the-art overviews of central topics in Intensive Care and optimal resources for clinicians working in Intensive Care.

Background and purposes: The relationship between post-stroke blood pressure (BP), collaterals and functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of post-stroke baseline BP on collateral flow and functional outcome in acute ischemic patients with large vessel occlusion/stenosis. Methods: Patients identified with large vessel occlusion/stenosis with baseline multimodal computed tomography, clinical data, follow-up imaging, and clinical outcomes recruited from 2011 to 2017 in the International Stroke Perfusion Imaging Registry (INSPIRE) were included in this study. A modified Rankin Score of 0-1 at 90 days after stroke was defined as an excellent functional outcome. Collateral flow was quantified by the volume of tissue with severely delayed contrast transit (delay time>6 seconds) within the delay time>3 seconds perfusion lesion. The association between baseline BP, collateral flow and 3-month outcome were retrospectively investigated using multivariate models. Results: There were 306 patients included in this study. With every increase of 10mmHg in baseline systolic BP, the odds of achieving an excellent functional outcome decreased by 12% in multivariate analysis (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.76-0.995, P=0.048). Conversely, every increment of 10mmHg in baseline BP (regardless of systolic, diastolic and mean BP) was associated with better collateral flow, and was also associated with reduced final infarct volumes (FIV). In subgroup analysis of patients with major reperfusion, higher BP was associated with decreased FIV. For patients without reperfusion, higher BP was associated with increased FIV and decreased odds of a favorable clinical outcome. Conclusions: Higher baseline BP in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion/stenosis was associated with better collateral flow. However, for patients without reperfusion, higher baseline BP was associated with increased infarct growth, and led to an unfavorable clinical outcome. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the association between BP and collaterals has been quantified by perfusion imaging, and this is also the first study to demonstrate that higher BP is correlated with infarct growth.

More than 50 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, and most of them control it by taking prescription drugs with potentially dangerous side effects. But there is a natural, affordable, and easy-to-manage alternative to medication: the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Developed by a world-class team of doctors and nutritionists, the DASH diet is clinically proven to lower blood-pressure levels and thereby reduce the risk of heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease. Now, with The DASH Diet for Hypertension, readers can benefit from: • A hearty and healthful selection of DASH menus, recipes, even grocery lists • DASH weight-loss and exercise programs for everyday living • The science behind DASH, including calorie worksheets and a formula to calculate body-mass ...and much more from this revolutionary program, which is recommended by the American Heart Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the American Society for Hypertension; and other leading medical authorities.
