Abstract WP35: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps As a Biomarker for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Neutrophils are reported to be critical mediators of to poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Following SAH, neutrophils cause vascular occlusion via neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and NETs have been identified as a therapeutic target to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia in mice (DCI) with SAH. nucleosome.

Abstract WP370: Platelet morphology but not coagulation markers predicts delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Approximately 30% of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients who survive the rupture develop delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) 4 to 10 days following aSAH. Thus, we sought to investigate various biomarkers of platelets to identify which factors are predictive of patients at-risk for DCI.

Abstract TP154: Association of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy With Ischemic Lesions After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Background:Ischemic lesions on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) occur in one-third of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Patients with severe, chronic hypertension may be more vulnerable to the development of ischemia after ICH due to altered cerebral autoregulatory limits. and LVH was seen in 23.5%.
