Cerebral Microbleeds in Nonlacunar Brain Infarction Are Associated with Lower Coated–Platelet Levels

Conclusions: The presence of CMBs in patients with nonlacunar ischemic stroke is associated with lower levels of coated-platelets. Larger prospective studies are needed to better establish the potential connection between altered coated–platelet synthesis, microbleeds, cerebral infarction, and possible hemorrhage-prone vascular changes.
