Elevated blood pressure a red flag for stroke, bleeding in seniors with nonvalvular AF
A systolic blood pressure (BP) of at least 145 mm Hg appears to be a strong predictor of stroke, stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE), major bleeding, and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) in older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a study.

16 Nov 2022Intensive BP-lowering a no-go after reperfusion in ischaemic stroke
An intensive blood pressure target (<120 mm Hg) should be avoided in patients who have undergone endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) for large-vessel occlusion (LVO), results of the phase III ENCHANTED2/MT* trial showed.

14 Nov 2022Prasugrel on par with clopidogrel in reducing stroke recurrence in thrombotic stroke patients
In thrombotic stroke patients at high risk of ischaemic stroke recurrence, prasugrel was as effective as clopidogrel in reducing the composite incidence of ischaemic stroke, MI, and death from other vascular causes, the phase III PRASTRO-III study has shown.

11 Nov 2022Arterial stiffness predicts survival in stroke patients
Aortic stiffness, pressure wave reflections (PWRs), and their combined incremental value play pivotal roles in predicting long-term survival, morbidity, and functional disability in patients with acute stroke, suggest the results of a study.
