Association of Anticoagulant Use With Hemorrhage Location and Etiology in Incident Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:It is unknown whether hypertensive microangiopathy or cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) predisposes more to anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (AA-ICH). Among patients with AA-ICH, there were no differences in the proportion with lobar hemorrhage (63/148 [42.6%] versus 46/107 [43.0%]; OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.62–1.68];P=0.946)

Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Strict BP Control Not to Blame for Pinprick Brain Lesions

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- The acute intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering recommended after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) did not increase small-volume infarcts compared with looser control in a small randomized trial. Of 79 patients in the ICHADAPT.

Influence of Time to Achieve Target Systolic Blood Pressure on Outcome After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The Blood Pressure in Acute Stroke Collaboration

Stroke Journal

Earlier SBP control was not associated with cardiac or renal adverse events.CONCLUSIONS:Our study confirms a clear time relation between early versus later SBP control (120–140 mm Hg) and outcomes in the one-third of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who attained sustained SBP levels within this range.

Abstract NS3: Nurse Led Interventions Improve the Timeliness of Blood Pressure Reduction in Patients Presenting With Acute Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Introduction:The 2022 AHA/ASA Guidelines for Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) recommend initiating treatment and lowering blood pressure (BP) within 2 hours of ICH onset and reaching the target systolic BP of 130-150mmHg within one hour of treatment initiation.
