Retrospective registry comparison demonstrates ancillary diagnostic studies increase detection of modifiable vascular risk factors in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, highlighting unmet...
The leading cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is hypertensive arteriolopathy. In addition to age and hypertension history, patients usually present other comorbidities that potentially increase morbimortality. Ancillary studies other than non-contrast computerized tomography (NCCT) may help clarify the diagnosis and increase the detection of potentially modifiable vascular risk factors. Unfortunately, their use is not routinely performed.
