چکیده

We studied the temporal profile of hemorrhagic transformation in 34 cases with autopsy-confirmed hemorrhagic infarction who died within 15 days following a supratentorial brain infarct, provided they had undergone computed tomography. It appeared that within 4 days, at least 76% (95% confidence interval 39-100%) of 21 cardioembolic strokes had become hemorrhagic. We conclude that if anticoagulation is considered in cardioembolic stroke, such treatment should not be started sooner than at least 4 days after the onset of stroke, provided that computed tomography at that time shows no hemorrhagic infarction.

Timing of anticoagulation therapy in patients with acute cardioembolic stroke.

(TIA) associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), anticoagulation therapy within 14 days after onset is an option,3 but the appropriate timing remains unclear. Furthermore, production of protein C and protein S, which have anticoagulant activity, is blocked for several days after treatment with warfarin, which results in hypercoagulability and a probable increased risk for ischemic stroke.4 Non-v...

Totaled health risks in vascular events score predicts clinical outcomes in patients with cardioembolic and other subtypes of ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Whether totaled health risks in vascular events (THRIVE) score can be used to predict clinical outcomes and risk of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with special subtypes of ischemic stroke remains an open question. METHODS We analyzed the possible relationships between THRIVE score and clinical outcomes in patients with cardioembolic stroke or noncardioembolic st...

Early Rivaroxaban Use After Cardioembolic Stroke May Not Result in Hemorrhagic Transformation: A Prospective Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early anticoagulation after cardioembolic stroke remains controversial because of the potential for hemorrhagic transformation (HT). We tested the safety and feasibility of initiating rivaroxaban ≤14 days after cardioembolic stroke/transient ischemic attack. METHODS A prospective, open-label study of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with rivaroxaban ≤14 days of...
