Cerebral Microbleeds and the Effect of Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction on Hematoma Expansion and Functional Outcomes: A Secondary Analysis of the ATACH-2 Randomized Clinical Trial
Abstract
Importance: Response to intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) might vary with the degree of underlying cerebral small vessel disease.
Objectives: To characterize cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in acute ICH and to assess the potential for interaction between underlying small vessel disease (as indicated by CMB number and location) and assignment to acute intensive BP targeting for functional outcomes and …
