Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stroke Alert April 2025
Q: What were the key findings from the Prestige AF clinical trial regarding anticoagulation therapy in ICH survivors with atrial fibrillation?
The trial found that treatment with direct oral anticoagulants significantly reduced the rate of ischemic strokes compared to the control group, but it was accompanied by a significantly higher incidence of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages.
Stroke Alert November 2024
Q: How important is the awareness of these pathologies before the index event?
Paying attention to these pathologies can help us stratify patients and possibly shift them towards preventive interventions.
Stroke Alert October 2024
Q: What are the main findings of the PRECIOUS trial?
The main trial showed no significant alteration in primary outcomes of improved functional outcome despite the safety of the evaluated treatments.
Stroke Alert October 2024
Q: What are the effects of smoking on intracranial aneurysms?
Smoking is associated with increased risk of aneurysm development and rupture, but surprisingly, the recent research concludes that smoking does not significantly correlate with aneurysmal growth rates.
Stroke Alert November 2023
Q: Should we be giving this person aspirin indefinitely after completing anticoagulation for CVST?
There is currently low evidence for the efficacy of aspirin for secondary prevention in CVST after anticoagulation, and the risks of prolonged aspirin therapy must be evaluated on a patient-by-patient basis.
