    Diffusion-weighted imaging as predictor of acute ischemic stroke etiology
    (2022) brunser, alejandro; Mansilla, Eloy; NAVIA, VICTOR; Mazzon, Enrico; Rojo, Alexis; Cavada, Gabriel; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Munoz Venturelli, Paula; Lavados, Pablo
    Background: Topographic patterns may correlate with causes of ischemic stroke. Objective: To investigate the association between diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification. Methods: We included 1019 ischemic stroke patients. DWI were classified as: i) negative; ii) DWI single lesion (cortico-subcortical, cortical, subcortical ≥20 mm, or subcortical <20 mm); iii) scattered lesions in one territory (small scattered lesions or confluent with additional lesions); and iv) multiple lesions (multiple unilateral anterior circulation [MAC], multiple posterior circulation [MPC], multiple bilateral anterior circulation [MBAC], and multiple anterior and posterior circulations [MAP]). Results: There was a relationship between DWI patterns and TOAST classification (p<0.001). Large artery atherosclerosis was associated with small, scattered lesions in one vascular territory (Odds Ratio [OR] 4.22, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 2.61–6.8), MPC (OR 3.52; 95%CI 1.54–8.03), and subcortical lesions <20 mm (OR 3.47; 95%CI 1.76–6.85). Cardioembolic strokes correlated with MAP (OR 4.3; 95%CI 1.64–11.2), cortico-subcortical lesions (OR 3.24; 95%CI 1.9–5.5) and negative DWI (OR 2.46; 95%CI 1.1–5.49). Cryptogenic strokes correlated with negative DWI (OR 4.1; 95%CI 1,84–8.69), cortical strokes (OR 3.3; 95%CI 1.25–8.8), MAP (OR 3.33; 95%CI 1.25–8.81) and subcortical lesion ≥20 mm (OR 2.44; 95%CI 1,04–5.73). Lacunar strokes correlated with subcortical lesions diameter <20 mm (OR 42.9; 95%CI 22.7–81.1) and negative DWI (OR 8.87; 95%CI 4.03–19.5). Finally, MBAC (OR 9.25; 95%CI 1.12–76.2), MAP (OR 5.54; 95%CI 1.94–15.1), and MPC (OR 3.61; 95%CI 1.5–8.7) correlated with stroke of other etiologies. Conclusions: A relationship exists between DWI and stroke subtype

    Associations of Early Systolic Blood Pressure Control and Outcome After Thrombolysis- Eligible Acute Ischemic Stroke: Results From the ENCHANTED Study
    (2022) Wang, Xia; Minhas, Jatinder S.; Moullaali, Tom J.; Di Tanna, Gian Luca; Lindley, Richard I.; Chen, Xiaoying; Arima, Hisatomi; Chen, Guofang; Delcourt, Candice; Bath, Philip M.; Broderick, Joseph P.; Demchuk, Andrew M.; Donnan, Geoffrey A.; Durham, Alice C.; Lavados, Pablo; Lee, Tsong-Hai; Levi, Christopher; Martins, Sheila O.; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Pandian, Jeyaraj D.; Parsons, Mark W.; Pontes-Neto, Octavio M.; Ricci, Stefano; Sato, Shoichiro; Sharma, Vijay K.; Silva, Federico; Thang, Nguyen H.; Wang, Ji-Guang; Woodward, Mark; Chalmers, John; Song, Lili; Anderson, Craig S.; Robinson, Thompson G.
    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In thrombolysis-eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke, there is uncertainty over the most appropriate systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering profile that provides an optimal balance of potential benefit (functional recovery) and harm (intracranial hemorrhage). We aimed to determine relationships of SBP parameters and outcomes in thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke patients. METHODS: Post hoc analyzes of the ENCHANTED (Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study), a partial-factorial trial of thrombolysis-eligible and treated acute ischemic stroke patients with high SBP (150–180 mm Hg) assigned to low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) or standard-dose (0.9 mg/kg) alteplase and intensive (target SBP, 130–140 mm Hg) or guideline-recommended (target SBP <180 mm Hg) treatment. All patients were followed up for functional status and serious adverse events to 90 days. Logistic regression models were used to analyze 3 SBP summary measures postrandomization: attained (mean), variability (SD) in 1–24 hours, and magnitude of reduction in 1 hour. The primary outcome was a favorable shift on the modified Rankin Scale. The key safety outcome was any intracranial hemorrhage. RESULTS: Among 4511 included participants (mean age 67 years, 38% female, 65% Asian) lower attained SBP and smaller SBP variability were associated with favorable shift on the modified Rankin Scale (per 10 mm Hg increase: odds ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.71–0.82]; P<0.001 and 0.86 [95% CI, 0.76–0.98]; P=0.025) respectively, but not for magnitude of SBP reduction (0.98, [0.93– 1.04]; P=0.564). Odds of intracranial hemorrhage was associated with higher attained SBP and greater SBP variability (1.18 [1.06–1.31]; P=0.002 and 1.34 [1.11–1.62]; P=0.002) but not with magnitude of SBP reduction (1.05 [0.98–1.14]; P=0.184). CONCLUSIONS: Attaining early and consistent low levels in SBP <140 mm Hg, even as low as 110 to 120 mm Hg, over 24 hours is associated with better outcomes in thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke patients.
