The Relationship Between Baseline Blood Pressure and Computed Tomography Findings in Acute Stroke: Data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST)
Stroke 40:41-46, Sare,G.M.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Although high baseline BP is independently associated with a poor outcome after stroke, this was not shown to be through an association with increased hemorrhagic transformation, cerebral edema, or mass effect: trial design may be suboptimal to detect this. Higher SBP is associated with visible infarction on day 10 scans. The influence of changing BP in acute stroke on CT findings is still to be ascertained.
