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 WP159: Chronic Kidney Disease and Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The Role of Hypertension as a Mediator

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-established risk factor for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This association was reduced to a 19% increase in ICH risk after adjusting for hypertension in multivariable MR (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.03-1.39; Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP159-AWP159, February 1, 2024.
