Taking an anticoagulant, or blood-thinning medication, can increase one's risk of—or exacerbate—a brain bleed, also known as a brain hemorrhage, which is the deadliest type of stroke. Now, new research finds that faster treatment for these patients is associated with a greater likelihood of survival.

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)
