Trigger Factors and Their Attributable Risk for Rupture of Intracranial Aneurysms A Case-Crossover Study
Stroke 42:1878-1882, Vlak, M.H.M.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We identified and quantified 8 trigger factors for aneurismal rupture. All triggers induce a sudden and short increase in blood pressure, which seems a possible common cause for aneurismal rupture. Some triggers are modifiable, and further studies should assess whether reduction of exposure to these factors or measures preventing sudden increase in blood pressure decrease the risk of rupture in patients known to have an intracranial aneurysm.
