Among survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage, a single pill with three low-dose antihypertensive agents added to standard care was associated with a lower incidence of stroke and major cardiovascular events than placebo. Full TRIDENT trial results: https://t.co/0tiij1H7tb

Among patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke and bleeding, left atrial appendage closure was not noninferior to medical therapy in reducing the risk of stroke, embolism, major bleeding, or death at 3 years. Full CLOSURE-AF trial results: https://t.co/qAMC2o36Mi

In an international, randomized trial involving patients with acute venous thromboembolism, the risk of clinically relevant bleeding was significantly lower with apixaban than with rivaroxaban during the 3-month treatment period.

In patients with atrial fibrillation and recent stroke, adding catheter ablation to oral anticoagulation did not significantly reduce recurrent stroke, systemic embolism, death, or hospitalization for heart failure compared to standard therapy.

Proud to share our latest research in the American Journal of Neuroradiology on optimizing CT Perfusion (CTP) for Posterior Circulation Infarction (POCI) 🧠💻!

[Leon Edwards @DrLeonEdwards]

Clinicians must be aware of their specific CTP software. This level of detail is key to improving POCI diagnosis, even as we move toward AI solutions. 🧐

In patients with chronic coronary syndrome taking oral anticoagulants, adding aspirin led to higher risks of cardiovascular events, major bleeding, and death from any cause than anticoagulation alone. Full AQUATIC trial: https://t.co/LG9JVysL7c
