White Matter Hyperintensities and Blood Pressure Lowering in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Secondary Analysis of the ATACH-2 Trial
Abstract
BackgroundIt is not clear whether subsets of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) benefit from intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering. We evaluated whether white matter hyperintensities (WMH) burden influences response to this therapy.MethodsRetrospective secondary analysis of the Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage 2 trial.
