Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage at greater risk for cardiovascular events

Patients with stroke due to nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage had significantly higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events, researchers reported in JAMA Network Open.
David Gaist, MD, PhD, professor and neurologist at Odense University Hospital and University of Southern Denmark, and colleagues aimed to assess the risk for major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with prior intracerebral hemorrhage compared with the general population.
Researchers identified 8,991 patients (53.5% men; mean age, 70.7 years) with a first intracerebral hemorrhage in the Danish Stroke Registry
