  ABSTRACT: Goal: The effect of pulse pressure and interactions with type of antihypertensive therapy on mortality after acute ischemic stroke has not been previously evaluated. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the independent and interactive effects of pulse pressure and antihypertensive class (specifically angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker, or beta blocker) on mortality following acute ischemic stroke. Findings/Conclusions: 343 patients were identified with 49 months of follow-up. Baseline pulse pressure was 64 mmHg and age was 66.5 years. Patients were divided at a pulse pressure of 70. Patients with pulse pressure ≥ 70 were older (p
