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)

Hypertension in aortic coarctation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Despite advances in surgical and percutaneous interventions, hypertension remains a significant complication in AoC patients, even after successful repair. Chronic hypertension develops in 20%70% of patients and is a leading cause of long-term cardiovascular morbidity.

Abstract NS7: Time is Brain and Team is Brain! A Partnership to Improve Blood Pressure Control for Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Stroke Journal

Background and Purpose:Intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages comprise roughly 15% of all strokes but have a higher risk of mortality and morbidity than ischemic strokes. Controlling hypertension after a hemorrhage is the primary intervention to limit the risk of hematoma expansion (HE) and the sequelae of secondary injury.

Abstract WMP78: Mobile Stroke Units Enable Hyperacute Interventions for Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Goal blood pressure was defined as systolic blood pressure <160. Median initial blood pressure in the MSU was 190/99, which dropped to a median blood pressure of 157/80 upon arrival to the hospital. The target blood pressure goal was met much quicker in the MSU.

Abstract TMP61: Induced Hypertension in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Stroke Journal

Background and Objectives:It is unclear whether induced hypertension in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) may improve long-term outcomes. The safety outcome was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). sICH did not differ between patients treated with induced hypertension (<1%) versus control (<1%) (OR 1.03; 95% CI 0.14-7.45;

Etiology of Primary Cerebellar Intracerebral Hemorrhage Based on Topographic Localization

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:Cerebellar intracerebral hemorrhage (cICH) is often attributed to hypertension or cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). 36.73];P=0.01), hypertension (84.4% to −7.30];P=0.001), and higher admission systolic blood pressure (172 [146–200] versus 146 [124–158] mm Hg,P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS:Our

Abstract NS1: Identification of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: The Impact of a Nurse Led Screening Tool Utilizing the Ottawa Rule

Stroke Journal

Background:The 2023 American Heart Association/American Stroke AssociationsGuideline for Management of Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage(SAH) support use of the Ottawa Rule to screen individuals at risk. The ED lacked a formal triage process for identification of SAH resulting in delayed treatment.
