Introduction to Permissive Hypertension
What is Permissive Hypertension?
Permissive hypertension is a medical practice where healthcare providers temporarily allow blood pressure to remain higher than normal. This strategy is most often applied after a stroke. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain. This is especially critical in acute ischemic stroke, where a blood clot blocks circulation to a region of the brain.
