Research on Stroke Reported by Researchers at Harvard University Medical School (Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio as an Indirect Imaging Surrogate in Patients With Anterior Circulation Large-Vessel Occlusion and Association of Baseline...).

The article details a Harvard University Medical School study using the hypoperfusion intensity ratio to assess collateral status in acute ischemic stroke patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusions. Topics include how baseline characteristics and admission lab findings relate to collateral status, the effects of cardioembolic and cryptogenic strokes, and the significance of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale scores and patient sex.
