Abstract
Background and Aims: Epidemiological studies show significant variations in hypertension management within and between countries. The level of regional variation in early blood pressure (BP) management after acute stroke is uncertain.Methods: Data are from the Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study (ENCHANTED), a partial-factorial, international randomized controlled trial of thrombolysis-eligible acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with elevated systolic BP (SBP >150 mmHg) assigned to intensive (target SBP 130-140 mmHg) vs. guideline-recommended (SBP
