Abstract
Background and Purpose: Cerebral microhemorrhages (MHs) are common among patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke and may predict both subsequent ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
Methods: We prospectively studied patients with and without MHs presenting within 12 hours of their ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). A magnetic resonance (MR) scan was performed within 24 hours of symptom(s) onset. The primary outcome was disabling or fatal stroke at 18 months.
Results: An MR scan was done in 236 patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA. Forty-five (19.1%) patients had an MH on a baseline MR scan. Patients with MHs were 2.8× (10.8% versus 4.0%; P=0.036) more likely to have a subsequent disabling or fatal stroke than patients without an MH. The risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was not statistically significant among MH and non-MH patients (3.3% versus 0.8%; P=0.31).
Conclusions: The presence of cerebral MH(s) in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA predicts recurrent disabling and fatal strokes. This risk is mainly assumed by recurrent ischemic strokes.
