Response To Intracerebral Haemorrhage Study In The Lancet

Doctor David Werring, from The Stroke Association"s Expert Advisory Panel said: "Non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage is a major cause of death and disability which is becoming more common, in part because of the increasing use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents in older people who may have fragile blood vessels in the brain. More research is urgently needed to better understand the underlying causes of blood vessel damage and to try to prevent some intracerebral haemorrhages by controlling blood pressure and avoiding antithrombotic drugs in people identified to be at highest bleeding risk. However, people who have been prescribed anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications should continue taking these unless instructed otherwise by their doctor." The Stroke Association
