Possible Influence of Stroke Etiology on Hemorrhagic Transformation Following Thrombolysis in Warfarin-Treated Patients

Association of CT Perfusion Parameters with Hemorrhagic Transformation in Acute Ischemic Stroke

“…12 Ongoing effort to find predictors of HT has yielded various factors, including the etiology of stroke, extent of infarction on initial CT, increasing stroke severity (NIHSS score), increasing age, congestive heart failure, high glucose levels, and blood pressure on presentation. 11,[13][14][15][16][17] Serum markers such as matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels 18 ; imaging modalities such as CT, 19 SPECT, 20 MR imaging, 21 diffusion-and perfusion-weighted MR imaging 22 ; and blood-brain barrier permeability measures on CTP 23 are also under investigation to formulate predictive models for HT.…”
