Study investigates the link between MMP levels and hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke, suggesting diagnostic potential.
Ischemic stroke, primarily caused by cerebral artery occlusion, is a leading cause of death and disability. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a known complication that worsens outcomes. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially MMP-9, are implicated in neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after stroke. This study investigates the association between MMP levels and HT events.
