Background: Systemic hemodynamic characteristics of patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke are poorly
described. The objective of this study was to identify baseline hemodynamic characteristics of emergency department
(ED) patients with suspected acute stroke.
Methods: This was a planned analysis of the stroke cohort from a multicenter registry of hemodynamic profiling of
ED patients. The registry prospectively collected non-invasive hemodynamic measurements of patients with suspicion

Background: The ability of the human brain to escape the here and now (mind wandering) can take functional (problem solving) and dysfunctional (perseverative cognition) routes. Although it has been proposed that only the latter may act as a mediator of the relationship between stress and cardiovascular disease, both functional and dysfunctional forms of repetitive thinking have been associated with blood pressure (BP) reactivity of the same magnitude.
